... make that 10x week for summer 06.

BA94/95 + BA44/45.

In the meantime, YUL will get an additional 3x/week from BA.

Loads and yields have been incredibly high on LHR-YUL the last couple of years.


PS. Am I the only member from Montreal on this board?

Cheers!

must be some work going on at GE for the engines, wonder if they will go it alone or with Snecma? wonder if Pratt will have anything? Sure that RR has something in the works. Of the three majors, PW is arguably the most advanced in the next generation of 20-35k thrust engines. Its looks quite promi...

Some destinations are for real (YUL-GVA/BRU) but others make not sense under cur...

Why are Airbus' winglets radically different from the one's Boeing and MD-11's use? Are they comparable in terms of efficiency. I see the A380 has A319 style winglets. It would looked nicer to see A330 or 747 style winglets on the big bird. Captain Airbus opted for "A320 style" winglets o...

The interest for this aircraft will be quite negligible

The design freeze for the carbon fibre airliner nears

Branson was in Montreal a couple of months ago and he made it clear that YYZ is among VS' priorities in the next three years.

YUL is in their plan too but VS is trying too negotiate a sweet deal with ADM (Aéroports de Montréal) authorities.

Link(s) please!

IAD, EWR, ACC and YUL have all been mentioned on several occasions but since KL has decided to keep all MD11s until 2010, the plan may have changed.
