What are the chances of Etihad being allowed to operate BFS-YYZ? A single aircraft with small BFS crew base could operate AUH-BFS-YYZ-BFS-AUH.
Gives a sweetener to Etihad in that we already know there is demand for a Canadian route that would help offset any initial loss of operating BFS-AUH. If I calculate right this arrangement would allow 3 weekly to AUH and 3 weekly to YYZ??
Kind of a win-win for all involved.
