Has anyone heard any further rumours or have any definite information as to if/when that particular flight will resume?. Presumably the only way to travel in daylight will continue to be via a connection in Halifax (if they keep that as a daylight flight).
It has reappeared as a placeholder in the timetable many times since Covid started, and then disappeared once AC finalized their schedules. This coming winter is different: it has not reappeared in the schedule, but AC is showing only 3 flights daily between YYZ and LHR and they need to use 4 arrival slots at Heathrow unless they are planning to start a new route (unlikely) or have leased one slot out. So they are missing a flight. Maybe they are waiting to announce the resumption of the daylight flight?
