Transat

Vancouver remains and, in fact, takes up the additional capacity from Calgary stopping.

Makes sense. It's far bigger than Calgary and a generally more attractive destination.

Is it only a 1x weekly service?

Yes, 1x weekly A332.

I forgot TS were starting Montreal this summer. Slightly odd choice I would have thought but will be interesting to see if it survives. Wonder if WestJet will do anything else.

I think in the next couple of years TCX will be one for some more 'niche' destination like Bostin, Miami and Los Angeles no reason why they wouldn't work at Glasgow. That's not to say that other carriers like Delta and American will not start a new service to some unserved hubs ATL,JFK,ORD

Hopefully Westjet has a good 2016 season and they may consider year-round or more frequencies.

Its good to see them grow their presence as there is a lot of potential for them in Glasgow.

I assume these routes will be year round as opposed to just the winter?

Wikipedia seems to show them as winter only but I'm sure they will be very popular and back for summer 2017, along with more new routes hopefully.

Why is this thread so quiet? Does nobody want to talk about the increase in frequency Air Transat will be operating to Vancouver or the return of jet2 flights to New York in winter 2016.

isnt the 'increase' to YVR just a conveniently timed connection via YYZ?

It's being labelled as going via Toronto by Air Transat so I'd assume it's a proper service as new connections via hubs don't usually appear in the news.

Firstaid, the non-stop flight still operates once weekly, the 'increase', as CC said, are new connections via YYZ.

As for Jet2 to New York, it's only a handful of one-off charters that operate every year.

Landing Config

Explain this article cause it is worded very different to what you have said (which I do not doubt even that it is a disappointment that it isn't increased)
Got family in Canada? Extra flights to Vancouver start this summer (From )

And I know they are charter flights but it's more routes for the airport and I thought that was what this thread and many other threads were for, discussing new routes etc.

From your article:

Between Thursday, June 23, and Saturday, October 29, jet setters will be able to fly to the west coast city via Toronto on Thursdays and Saturdays, as well as on the existing direct service on Wednesdays.
This is reflected on their website as well, if you search for GLA-YVR it returns 3x weekly flights - one non-stop on Wednesday, as usual, plus two extra flights that operate GLA-YYZ before connecting onto TS962 to YVR on a 737-800.

The Jet2 New York route, as I say, has been operating for years and is not new.

Ok fair enough about the Vancouver flights but regardless you are trying to play down any interest in news for Glasgow for no reason.

If theres genuine significant news to post it will come in due course. Just some rearranging deckchairs for now would be my summary.
