60. When it comes to travel from England, Canada is well served with eight cities receiving nonstop flights from London. Identify each Canadian city and the airline(s) providing nonstop service to it from London.
In part depends on the month; traffic on UK-Canada has always been very seasonal, and also notably deficient in premium traffic, although this last is starting to change from the dominance of "visiting Grandma" type traffic. There are still charters from the UK to Canada, back in the 1960s-90s they were almost as dominant as schedules.

8 points from London. Let's say St Johns (assuming the transfer from Gander had taken place by then); Halifax; Montreal; Ottawa; Toronto; Calgary; Edmonton and Vancouver. And the carriers are from Heathrow Air Canada to all, BA to Montreal, Toronto and Vancouver, and recent arrival Wardair, operating from Gatwick to Toronto, Calgary and Vancouver. Wardair's operations were just a make-up of their long-established charters to scheduled operation.
