That’s true . WestJet did operate some Vancouver YVR/ Toronto YYZ on the Boeing 787’s to Hawaii 🇺🇸/ Mexico 🇲🇽 even after the MOU. Even YYC - YYZ / YYZ - YVR 🇨🇦domestic rotations too. (If) Edmonton YEG did get a WS 787 to London UK 🇬🇧 route (in a few years time), It probably be rotated on...

I think Air Canada will launch Edmonton YEG - London LHR UK 🇬🇧 on the Airbus A321 XLR , before WestJet does. The AC A321 XLR is better suited for YEG- LHR / YEG to Europe✅.

Even with the Alberta MOU agreement expiring 2027, it’s up to WestJet where they operate & base its planes✈️ ✅ Even Pre Covid when WestJet 1st got deliveries of the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner planes in the fleet they were rotated between Calgary YYC, Toronto YYZ & Vancouver YVR operating a mix of...

Yes, it seems like the last several years, Calgary YYC has more Nonstop daily flights✈️ year round to Fort McMurray YMM & Grande Prairie YQU both on WestJet / Air Canada compared to YEG✅. While Edmonton YEG has limited nonstop flights to both of those cities YMM & YQU - although YEG does have...

Even *if* hardly anyone Edmonton YEG connected in Calgary YYC still doesn’t (guarantee) YEG more flights than YYC . As it’s up to airlines which routes they operate ✅. YYC gets connecting passengers from Saskatchewan, Manitoba, British Columbia, Northern Canada & 60,000-80,000+ US connecting...

Very true, plus Calgary YYC has the geography advantage being closer to Canada 🇨🇦/USA🇺🇸 border compared to Edmonton YEG = more nonstop US / Mexico 🇲🇽 flights year round . While Edmonton YEG on the map / location looks closer to get to both Asia & Europe nonstop compared to YYC doesn’t...

Yes full enough to fill up AC ‘s 787, 777 & A330 planes ✈️ departing from Toronto YYZ 🇨🇦 to International destinations is great✅! And it also helps get more attention for Air Canada to keep adding additional international flights at YYZ too. Although it still won’t get Edmonton YEG - London...

True , It would not be surprising to see Air Canada re add Calgary YYC - Tokyo Japan 🇯🇵 NRT flight ✈️ route, once AC gets enough deliveries of its new fleet of Boeing 787-10 , that will allow AC more room to move a Boeing 787-8 /787-9 plane to compete with WestJet on YYC- NRT . AC has...

Looks like WestJet’s Edmonton YEG- Atlanta ATL route in May 2025 is cut in half & only operates 4x weekly Not surprised. More changes likely, (depending on demand)✅.

Yes WestJet has cut their Edmonton YEG- Montreal YUL - YEG route for S25. Except for 3 flights end of April that still open booking according to on Google Flights Search .
