I’m not sure if it’s even possible. I’d love to see the old factors for all domestic WS flights. Even the other airlines that fly into YYC.

hollywoodcory · #**222** Posted **Feb 10, 2024, 5:03 PM**

Also ICN has been re-timed:

WS86 YYC 16:50 - 19:40+1 ICN 357
WS86 ICN 21:40 - 17:00 YYC 146

The evening Transborder bank is now accessible.

Wait there could be two WJA86's on the same frequency on Monday? I'm guessing it's WS87 on the return.

Yeah it’s 87 on the return. That was typed before I had coffee this morning.

It annoys me that they haven't renumbered LHR to WS1 after cutting LGW entirely. That's undoubtedly their most "prestigious" route.

Some interesting itineraries bookable now with the Air Canada codeshare on Edelweiss' YYC-ZRH.

I hope they use that flight number for LHR unless they're planning on bringing back YYC-LGW one day?

hollywoodcory · #**227** Posted **Feb 11, 2024, 4:34 AM**

Schedule is now live in the booking system.

-KEF has been extended into October. (Was previously only until early Sept).
-LAX is literally 4x daily at its peak (except for Tue / Thu)
-CUN overall goes 7x weekly (2x on Sat / no flight on Tue)

peytol · #**228** Posted **Feb 11, 2024, 2:04 PM**

Looks like YYC-YVR is back to 16x daily, I think it was 16 pre covid?

YYC-YYZ is down at 7-8X a day and no 787, down quite a bit from its peak. I would assume with so much competition, that's probably what WS considers the minimum it can get away with for business travellers.

hollywoodcory · #**229** Posted **Feb 11, 2024, 10:03 PM**

SEA at 3x daily mainline even on Saturdays is wild.

hollywoodcory · #**231** Posted **Feb 11, 2024, 11:52 PM**

Also DUB has been reduced to 4x weekly. The Sunday flight has been removed. This means only Fridays will require all 7 Dreamliners. Perhaps I should scope out the 787 schedule for other changes.

casper · #**232** Posted **Feb 12, 2024, 5:11 AM**

Last week I flew down to the US transferring in Calgary down and back. It is the first time doing that in a very long time. My last couple of trips have had the connection in Montreal, Toronto, Vancouver or Seattle.

Going down Calgary is poorly setup for passengers transferring to the US. They need to fix that if they are going to be a serious hub airport.

Coming back it is the opposite. They have that down. Calgary is as good as Vancouver or Toronto. Less up and down escalators than Montreal.

LIR has been moved to a 02:15/02:20 departure starting in March now right through the end of season in May.

Also YQT/YYG have both been extended to late October, operating the full summer season.

I wonder why they would do that, I have taken that flight before and it's already a very long red eye. That departure time would have me looking elsewhere.

Already out with January stats…. Of note, almost 8% growth isn’t bad considering AC/QK’s massive schedule cuts and the large tranche of cancelled flights caused by the most recent planet Hoth-like conditions. I’m guessing February, with its milder conditions (so far and forecasted) and one additional day, will probably equal or surpass January’s totals.

Its still overall below January 2019 levels. (But not by much).

Transborder is almost virtually on par (a difference of like 40 pax) and non-US international continues to be the biggest gainer.

ace.yyc · #**237** Posted **Feb 14, 2024, 4:59 AM**

Just over 8% growth vs 2023 will be required to hit 20M.

Must be scheduling or utilization related, I'll have to see when it switches to the new time to see how the frames rotate and if I can make sense of it.

January does well for post holiday travel. The first week of January is still a very busy flying week, then things taper off. February is slower as well, which is normal. You also lose about 40,000 a day for the two shorter days in February.
March you see a big uptick in travel. Conference start up again in Canada and you have students with holidays.

WS has added some extra capacity on some routes (like extra frequencies on YQM/YZF/YQQ) between late July and October (especially the latter two months). I'm assuming they're a bit constrained with capacity especially with the YYC works?.

Nick · #**240** Posted **Feb 19, 2024, 5:00 PM**

All depends when in the day the capacity is added. We'll be around a 22-24 rate for the early part of the summer. So there will be delays at the peak arrival times, and departures could be delayed during periods of heavy mixed traffic.

In July sometime Rwy 35L will re-open in a shortened capacity, leaving an 8400 foot runway that can be used for operations to the south. But that will allow parallel ops in some form or another and an arrival rate above 30. But add in thunderstorms, chinook ops and it's all out the window!
