Indeed, it was a seasonally non-stop service in the late 1970s operated by a mix of B707/VC10 and B747, routing onwards to Toronto. BA 083/082, I seem to recall was the number. The demand has never been that strong I assume since the bulk of the historic links with Montreal are in the French-speaking world, although the city is home to a number of international agencies, most notably our own ICAO.
