Long shot hope is that Cathay can make a HKG-YYC run work with the A350 at some point.

Would Air Canada ever consider doing a YYC HKG flight as a stop over from a flight originating from YYZ?

That potential could be there, especially since AC and Air China are continuing to work out their joint venture agreement.

WestJet's summer schedule is adding 72 more weekly flights out of YYC, mainly frequency increases on existing routes. YYC-MEX, YYC-DEN, and YYC-YKF are the new flights that will start up during this time.
This increase makes YYC once again the largest WestJet hub (Toronto was for a bit).

More flights to DEN....Is Frontier still planning to come to YYC?

I wonder if this will draw any connection traffic? Vancouver is closer, but by the time you go to the airport and check in and go through security is getting on a plane to Vancouver much quicker than getting on a plane and connecting at Calgary? I would think it's not a big difference.

I think it would make connections to the prairies quicker. I don’t believe YVR has as many connections to the prairies as YYC does. Plus gives more one stop options to Europe

My dad lives on the island and commutes to Ft McMurray via Comox currently. There's about a dozen people on his shift alone that live in that region and work up North here. The demand might not be that huge, but it is consistent. Both carriers are constantly changing up their schedules and frequencies out of airports YQQ and YCD.
Definitely. If you're going to change planes in YVR anyway, it isn't a big deal to use YYC if the schedule overall ends up being better.

YYC Achieves Record Passenger Volumes in 2017
http://www.yyc.com/News/tabid/91/ar...chieves-Record-Passenger-Volumes-in-2017.aspx
However they have not yet put the numbers up on their passenger stats page, once those are up I'll post the breakdowns.

Not just passed 16M, but passed it fairly easily. Way to go YYC.
I can still remember reading an article in the Herald years back when YYC passed the 7 Million mark.

16.3M. Not too shabby.
