Heavy emphasis on
currently. The way things are going, I'm skeptical that many of these things will operate this summer.

I don't think the 321 can do BOG, but the 319 can. Going back 10 years ago or so, AC did YYZ-BOG on 319. Of course, rouge 763 to 319 is a huge capacity decrease, and even going to daily service (BOG is usually 3-4x weekly, not sure what it is currently) wouldn't quite make it up. Then again, maybe that's a good thing these days.
I'm not sure how valuable the cargo is. I heard it's a lot of flowers, which are bulky but not heavy.
I also suspect this will kill/postpone the YUL-BOG route that was supposed to start up soon.
Perhaps they'll continue to use the ex-SQ A330s in 2 class PY/Y config for some of these routes.
Of course, they've just ripped out the J cabins in a few of those birds ahead of the reconfiguration. I think there are still a couple left, but not sure how long they'll stay in that layout. It may be a chance to enjoy a real J product on some of these routes
