Jump to postThey claimed they were planning to return to everything from YYC, but claims are meaningless. F8 has claimed profitability, for example.

It was the last YYZ-ATL flight o...
Jump to postHonestly I suspect the only reason Rouge still currently exists is because it allows AC to fly around planes without PTVs without hurting the main AC brand (you are not on AC, you are flying it’s low cost sibling and should expect downgrade product!).

I'm not sure if we can post any speculation on this thread, but Air North, Yukon's Airline lists the A223 as a possibility to replace some of their existing 737 fleet on page 18 in their 2022 Annual Report. . I'm almost 100% sure they will stick with Boeing, but it would be really cool to have 4N us...

Jump to postI would also add that Air North does move a fair amount of freight on all of their passenger flights. Fairly certain that they have freight offices in Edmonton, Calgary, and Vancouver.

Here are some options, or scenarios and maybe they have been discussed. If Rouge is shut down permanently some of their narrowbody fleet has a lot of life left to replace some of the really old AC mainline fleet of 320's.
