Looks like Vegas also moves to 12x+ weekly. Looks like it was previously just 7x weekly (1 daily). There may be other changes.

What is SSP Edmonton?
Minny basically 2X daily should allow for a ton of connections throughout the US! Basically Westjet/Delta's answer to AC/United Denver.

Just a warning: there is one poster who has this annoying habit of blindly copying and pasting his posts in both SSP and SRC.
Anyway, back to discussions about our lovely international airport.

Porter and Air Transat is going into a Joint Venture. Wonder if YEG can benefit from this?

They are also ordering 25 more jets. You would think they'll have to place at least some of their fleet in the west just given the total number of jets they've ordered.

Porter Airlines Grows Ottawa Maintenance Operations | Aviation Week Network
The airline is building two new hangars to accommodate maintenance on its growing fleet of Embraer E195-E2s.

It would be smart for YEG to get in front of Porter to be the western base and not Calgary or Vancouver given they have a substantial order that is still coming.

I think all three YEG YVR YYC will see new routes BUT some will be successful and others not so much and be cancelled. I doubt WS sit idly by if Porter to invest heavily at YYC. Porter might find much more success at YVR and YEG if Transat started to fly Pacific routes from YVR and to YEG.Porter decided that they will be investing in Ottawa substantially as their eastern operations and maintenance base, not Toronto or Montreal.

Yes, they will already be up against Air Canada at YVR, so it would be wiser not to also get into a big battle with WestJet at the same time on the same routes.

Have people noticed some of the amazing deals you can get through Porter. I had a 208$ flight to Orlando via Ottawa.

What is that 20 hour flight including connection time?
