From the above Jan1 image, I see 9 Canadian registration planes flying without ADS-B. I didn't take the time to cross reference against AC fleet list to see if AC is the only noncompliant operator in Canada. (Plus a single point in time won't show any of the aircraft that weren't in the air at the exact moment).

Did the only Skytrax 4* carrier in North America not feel the need to invest in this safety mandate?

I'm *sure* no customers notice a 35min longer flight time--nobody flies on a connecting flight in the winter. As we all know the DH8 is a speed demon compared to a jet
