97% load factor on a daily A380 and still only one flight. Seriously EK and AGS... WTF are they playing at? And August is low season for this route. They are literally turning passengers away.

Toronto is alarming

It's almost as if they are retrofitting their fleet which is leaving them short and Air Transat used A330s last year.....oh wait...that's what's happening

That’s gonna happen with an equipment downgrade from a 330 to a 321

August is far from low season, quite the opposite.

It will be interesting to see how Scotland-Canada pans out over the next couple of years with so much competiton. Much of TS pax are low-yield VFR traffic and Canadian Affair bookings and I suspect it's largely an outbound market nowadays (careful). WestJet serving ***-YYC is an interesting one given that there has always been a large dispora of connecting pax to YYC and YVR. AC and WS also offer far more connections than TS can.

Yeah, so short of aircraft they can launch new routes like EDI.
