Air Transat

Gilesdavies - you are right but that routing as axed last year or even the year before. It used to be YYZ-EXT-BHX-YYZ. Canadian Affair have over the past 2 years consolidated the majority of their UK operations into GLA, MAN and LGW, with BHX also retaining a weekly non stop flight to YYZ, this was on the A330 but this year goes down to an A310.

Having pulled out of ABZ, EDI, NCL, LBA, CWL and EXT over the years I doubt you will see Air Transat at BRS, the demand for flights to YYZ from UK regional airports seems to have died off along with the vast majority of the market that traditionally used these flights. At one time BHX boasted twice weekly Wardair 747's and Air Canada Tristars to YYZ!

Whether or not Air Canada Rouge will look at other UK airports to add to EDI where they will operate from this summer remains to be seen but I would think MAN, LGW and possibly BHX would be served ahead of BRS?
