I noticed that AC is flying a third daily flight between YYZ and IND between 15 June and 28 October. Any reason for this limited time period and why the additional flight?

Seems like an extra section added for summer travel season. Not any other reason I can think of for adding another IND flight.

Picking up cheap Americans to fly transborder/tatl/tpac for the summer travel season.
With a nice 50% AQD discount towards status to boot.

Yep, AC is often quite cheap out of IND to Europe or Asia and my guess as mentioned above. I think there may be mail or other cargo type services as a bonus. The reason I say that is....."back in the day" US Airways had several flights per day from IND-YYZ along with the at least one AC flight and I found it hard to believe there was that much traffic between IND-YYZ and US definitely didnt have any onward connection possibilities back then so guessed they had some other cargo type business out of it and given the size of the aircraft assumed it was mail. Could be totally wrong on that one though.

Yes. AC was dissatisfied with their 5% OTP to and from DTW. In order to further lower it they are adding routes to Air Georgian to make absolutely sure they have no chance of accommodating even the slightest delay anywhere in their network without huge delays.
