Emirates starting YYZ flight article.
Finally.
Now if only the Canuckistan Taliban, sometimes known as Transport Canada, could remove their heads from their nether regions and sort out the slots, maybe they could add some destinations other than the armpit of the nation...
Yeah, that sounds like Transport all right. Too busy regulating the Canadian industry to death probably.

Emirates' expansion plans, however, are stuck on the runway for the foreseeable future. Under the current air agreement with the U.A.E., there are six slots a week available for all U.A.E. airlines to fly to Canada, according to Lucie Vignola, Transport Canada spokeswoman. No airline from the country can fly more than three of those routes a week. Etihad Airways already flies three times a week between Toronto and Abu Dhabi.
When Emirates begins flights in October, it will be the first time the agreement has hit capacity since it was signed in 2001 and it is not a priority of the government to renegotiate it at this time, Ms. Vignola said.
