Im sure YHZ was used 75% + for onward connections. Be interesting to see where those pax come from (and go) and if AC tries to flood things.
WestJet seem to be not sure on their philosophy with lots of chopping and changing.
Think id choose 787 (short flight or not) if given the choice.

AC v WS
Air Canada appear to be reacting to WS re-entry into the Toronto market by slashing prices. Last week, a round trip to YYZ in economy (1 x week duration - 3rd week in June) with a checked bag was £890. As of a few minutes ago, the price is now £609. WS price on same dates with a checked bag - £1025. A price war underway?

Not all WestJet seats are the same!

Having said that the new Terminal A at AUH looks great too so perhaps EY returning at some point given they want to grow again would be better for EDI.

I’m not sure what I think about EK returning tbh. Part of me wants to see QR continue to go from strength to strength. DOH is a much better airport to transit through than DXB.

Etihad returning is another interesting one. They have restructured, have a an amazing new hub, ready to accommodate more aircraft. They have already announced some expansion plans to airports on the continent. New management team in place now with a more stable financial position. Not out of the question that they could return for another shot.

How many weekly flights did Qatar have in 2019?
I also spoke with a number of airlines at trade events within the last 6 weeks who repeatedly made the same point about TATL flights. America is benefitting from the exchange rate, when that improves they expect the market to flatline roughly where it is now, the problem is nobody knows when that will be.
The second point raised was prices from the UK going East are much higher than prices going West. They all said that as more seats become available going East and prices fall they expect TATL flying to be impacted.
I know at least 1 airline was looking at plans to launch EDI flights and shelved them due to market uncertainty, amongst other issues specific to EDI.
