The 767-300 can't make YVR non-stop without restrictions from CWL.
Really? Thomson and CUN have no problems. And they are about the same distance in terms of flight path / Flying time.
I know Zoom carry more cargo than TOM would to CUN, but would the restrictions be that great?
I'm not sure YVR would be popular enough to go direct.
I wonder if Zoom get any more 752's, if they will use it into CWL and possibly add 1 or 2 new routes like they have with BFS.
There seems to be alot of interest lately about the usage of 757's accross the pond.
If HB's aim is to have more direct routes, they would need a few more a/c, as i believe the majority of their flights either stop somewhere else in the UK or Canada, or there would be a number of frequency reductions.

Sad to see John Horne go, he's a nice approachable guy who you could tell had a passion for the airport.
Hopefully the new temp MD from Abertis themselves will notice the airport still needs alot more investment and may open the big wigs eyes!
