Looks like it's about to get a whole lot frigging worse at YYC. I'm hearing from a very reliable source of "upcoming service suspensions from Calgary", effective October 30, to:
I'm not surprised by some of those (CUN and HNL seasonal, LAX service has been pathetic ever since it resumed post-COVID, all suffering from YYC's de-hubbing), but
FRA?!?!? Mother goddamned frigging FRA?!?!?!? FRA is a crappy airport, but it enables one-stop travel to so many more places than YYZ, YUL, or YVR. Even where there's service available via YYZ/YUL, it's also a hell of a lot more pleasant to connect in FRA than the much longer route via YYZ/YUL (which aren't great airports either), which adds several hours to the journey.
I flew a lot of KL last year, maybe time to move more of my business over there.
