Calgary International Airport

[Surrealplaces]

Breakdown of Domestic, Transborder, and International. Good to see strong international growth still happening.

Me too. Transborder down is no surprise at all, as traffic from the O&G industry has a strong effect on that.

More widebody action at WestJet as they are purchasing up to 20 dreamliners. I wonder what kind of effect this will have on Calgary as far as International flights go?

WestJet to purchase Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners

My guess is Hong Kong or Shanghai for Asia, Paris for Europe, and Atlanta for USA.

That's good news for Calgary. Always nice to get a direct flight to another country. I'd like to see a direct to Atlanta.

Atlanta or Fort Lauderdale, put most likely Asia.

Calgary to Belize direct will be nice. Another direct flight to a foreign country

Can you hazard a guess on what those Dreamliners will be used for?

It's so early to tell with the WestJet Dreamliner purchase and plans. Definitely some Europe service (probably replacing the old 767's) and hopefully service to Asia. The big question will be how much for YYC versus YYZ and YVR.

Further WestJet increases from YYC:

• Calgary-Vancouver, from 90 to 97 times weekly (15 times each business day), more than any other carrier.
• Calgary-Toronto, from 58 to 68 times weekly, (10 times each business day), more than any other carrier.
• Calgary-Fort McMurray, from four to five times each business day.
• Calgary-Kelowna, from six to seven times each business day, more than any other carrier.
• Calgary-Brandon, from 10 to 12 times weekly.
• Calgary-Grande Prairie, 19 to 26 times weekly.
• Calgary-Kitchener, from five to seven times weekly.
• Calgary-Los Angeles, from 11 to 14 times weekly.
• Calgary-Phoenix, from 19 to 20 times weekly.
• Calgary-Palm Springs, from 18 to 20 times weekly.
• Calgary-Cancun, from 14 to 16 times weekly.
• Calgary-Cabo San Lucas, from seven to eight times weekly.

Good point. I assumed the same things about replacing the 767's. That seems like the logical thing to do, but if there are flights to Asia, I'm guessing YVR only.

Funny how they announced that right after Frontier announces coming here.
