Looking at the SK winter schedules there are a few notable changes from last year:
  • YQR-YYZ is 3 times a week, YXE-YYZ is 4 times a week
    • Days alternate between the two (YXE Mon, Tue, Thu, Sat. YQR Sun, Wed, Fri)
    • Previous years saw them operate on some same days, particularly the peak Mon to YYZ, Sun from YYZ
  • YQR-YVR and YXE-YVR are year-round again
    • Last winter these only operated over the Christmas period
  • YYC services are mostly 737-operated
    • Generally 4/5 daily services to/from YXE
    • Generally 3/6 daily services to/from YQR
    • I assume this is partly related to Encore pilot shortages
  • Most YEG services are 737-operated
    • All YXE flights (once daily)
    • Half of YQR flights (Mon, Tue, Fri)
  • YQR-YWG has lost any useful connections in YWG
    • Previous years offered a very smooth YQR-YWG-YOW option, and backup YYZ options, but now none work
