Would this be YYC’s first ever South American route?

This is great. The only South American route out of Western Canada by the looks.
This did catch me off guard, wasn't expecting a winter route announcement.

Even though it's not a route to Asia, I’m still really happy for YYC. Hopefully we’ll see more flights added in 2026.

The announcement mentions onward connections through LATAM, another Delta invested airline. The only Delta invested airline we don't have direct flights to is China Eastern (3%), and their global hub is in Shanghai.

So where to next:
Top 50 airports + Australia and New Zealand without flights. Pearl River and Malay, Singapore, Jakarta grouped and coloured.

Did not expect a 787 destination since I didn't expect a winter route.
Assuming they will reduce 787 service to Hawaii to make this work.

Quick question, what are the passenger counts here? Is it the total passengers from PVG+SHA via NRT for example, including those just flying from Tokyo to Shanghai?
Sao Paulo will be a nice to have. It's one of the places I've considered going to, and now even more so.

To advance that mission, the Prime Minister, Mark Carney, travelled to Doha, Qatar – the first-ever visit by a sitting Canadian Prime Minister to the state.

Oh, the end airport. the routing is to show how long the flight is to avoid airspace closed to Canada.

Sao Paulo is a nice surprise...I was holding out hope for Bogota, and would have been thrilled, but Sao Paulo is even better!
