I kind of remember that too, but don't remember why they cancelled it. Was it to do with NWA Merger, or was it way back before that?

I think it was prior to the NWA merger, I looked into it and it was only a 1x weekly service operating on Saturday. I think if they went for more frequency it could be more attractive (especially for business travel). As for aircraft type perhaps when Delta starts getting the CSeries it would be a perfect fit of size for the route.

I really would like to see Calgary pass Montreal again in annual passenger traffic. It would be a nice feather in our cap as a hub that has only a quarter as many people residing in the metro area.

Construction is starting on the new WestJet hangar for the 787-9:

Awesome. It looks like it's being built beside their current hangar?

Yes, appears to be going in directly east of the current building.

Nice to see another building, but even nicer to see some Dreamliners with Westjet colours hanging out at YYC

Not confirmed, but apparently this new hangar will have room to fit 3 of the 787-9's fully inside.

Three 787's in one building! Must be huge.
Sweet!

Looks like British Airways is operating a 747 on the London-Calgary flight today:

I believe it's capacity is one Dreamliner or 4 737. From this article: https://finance.yahoo.com/news/westjet-breaks-ground-calgary-hangar-043000235.html?.tsrc=applewf

Someone at Stantec here in town said capacity is 1 787-9 and 2 737 MAX 8's. So I'd guess you could fit 4 737's in there with nothing else.
