Has Canada gone down in popularity? I'd have thought the opposite would have been the case but aviation was very very different then.
I was surprised when Jet2 canned their planned Toronto charters (and Boston) a few years ago. Westjet is the only airline I could see being viable for Newcastle's future really... Not sure how an A319/A321 would go down on a transatlantic route with Air Canada Rouge... 767 more than likely too large unless it was a double drop with an existing route
