An airline can afford only so many hubs for international travel before they become economic. It makes sense to run YYC to LHR and FRA due to volume and onward connections. NRT is probably pretty marginal and my guess is it will disappear if WS ever adds that route. At the end of the day YYC is a primary WS hub and a secondary AC one. How many direct flights does Delta run to Europe or Asia from ORD rather than MSP or DTW?
