I would gladly lose the free booze if they brought meals back!

The only clue I can give you is the CEO has been walking around with a big grin on his face for the past month. Other than that I know nothing.

Getting the job as YYC's CEO ?

Saw that Porter announced flights to Phoenix from Van. Maybe that's it.

@Glenco - you are onto something there…

“…….we have a few more stops up our sleeve……..”

@Glenco is eluding to Skyteam members, not Oneworld……

Put me down for a Virgin Atlantic to LHR

How likely is that to happen?
(VS) Virgin Atlantic codeshares with WestJet via Toronto YYZ to London UK daily .

I'd love for it to happen but I also think we need to be realistic. I don't see VS entering the Alberta market any time soon.

Not gonna lie but I’d say…..albeit they’ll be a ton of naysayers that think otherwise….but geez - sitting at Gate 72 now….there is not an empty gate between 50-76 - Domestic side…..all gates are overflowing with bodies on-boarding and off boarding - dare I say we are due for an expansion?

 

[MacLac]

Old side - escalator between the 1st and 2nd floor - has this thing been down for what seems like over a decade now…..

When I flew out to Van last week I noticed how packed the place was.

 

[Markyeg]

I’ve flown out recently and it’s been packed on the side from gates 50-74, but the older north side is devoid of people, except in the Tim Hortons line. That part of the terminal desperately needs an update.

 

[BASE]

I have been saying I hope the North terminal area reno/expansion gets underway sooner rather than later for the fact that it gets harder to lose those gates while temporarily under construction the busier things get.

I think the challenge is $$. Look at EIA's annual reports for the last few years and they piled on the debt during and after the pandemic - like all Canadian airports did. Their plans indicate they're in an 'optimize what we have' mode for the next while.

Heck, go to YVR and you'll see a giant semi-finished parkade that hasn't had any work done to it for years.
