[QUOTEIn the fall of 1993, it was possible to fly directly with no change of plane from Lyon (LYS) to Ottawa (YOW). The service only operated twice a week and two intermediate stops were made en route. Identify the airline, the two stops and the equipment.
The airline wasn't Air Transat, Nationair or Canada 3000, the first stop was not made in Bordeaux, Brussels or Nantes, and aircraft type wasn't an L1011, Super DC-8 or A310. The second stop was made at Montreal Mirabel (YMX).

The YOW terminus makes me think it has to be a Canadian airline as YOW just isn't and IIRC never was a port of call for any international airline from outside North America in the past few decades. The other airline in that era that ventured to Europe was Royal Airlines. Since the equipment wasn't an A310 or L-1011, it would have been a 757-200. How 'bout a route of LYS-PIK (Prestwick)-YMX-YOW?
