Today is the first Tuesday LGW flight + YUL feeder so now TS is up to their max of 3x weekly on that route. Both previous feeders have been the same frame operating YOW-YUL and YUL-YOW, I'm curious the loads on those feeder flights and why they opted to keep it on Sunday/Tuesday but not Friday.
Today is also the first day with Rouge 7M8s appearing on YOW-YYZ - three round trips in total, all operated by FIN 525. Only two turns tomorrow on it, but then from Thursday it appears pretty consistently to be 4/10 turns. Some days in July I see up to 7/10 turns on the aircraft.
Yeah my Italian relatives have been flying from Montreal as far back as the Mirabel days (my dad remembers picking up my grandfather once and saw the Alitalia rep wait for the customs officers to clear everything before bringing out more bags from the back that contained meat and cheese, but I digress...). I really do think FCO would be a home run from YOW. Popular tourist spot, somewhat sizable diaspora here. It's too bad that it's probably a touch too far for the TS 321LRs.

Oh right 12A, just like 12 is 13B, as is gate 11 on the non-transborder side. So in all likelihood, only some troops got off at YOW and the rest went to YQB. Unlikely they customs cleared the YQB bound troops at YOW.
Not sure if this was mentioned, but for the first time in years, YOW released cargo statistics handling 29,000 tonnes in 2025:

I thought today was the first day of regular rouge 7M8 YYZ ops but wasn’t sure.
While the LR might possibly be out of range to FCO, their four XLRs on order certainly would be.
