Any decisions by airlines on scheduling flights back into YYG will almost certainly come down to whether or not the province is willing to allow non-residents to enter PEI. In summer of 2020, only full-time residents and, from July on, seasonal residents were allowed to enter the province.

As seasonal residents, spouse and I still had to apply for permission to come out, and do the mandatory 14-day quarantine upon arrival. So far as I know, that is still the case today.

I think everyone is hopeful that vaccines will allow that to change. When it will happen is anyone's guess. But until there is some assurance they won't be flying empty airplanes, I can't see either AC or Westjet rushing to put YYG back on the schedule.

Booking a fully refundable flight into Halifax or Moncton is obviously an option, but that still won't get you into PEI so long as the present provincial restrictions remain in place. As a non-resident, you will be turned around at the bridge. Just sayin ...
