Very happy as I fly some of these routes on a semi-frequent basis. Glad to see the increased frequencies and the E175 replacing the CRJ200! ^

Minor correction updated as of 0830GMT

Air Canada yesterday (27FEB19) announced operation changes for its seasonal Toronto – Honolulu route. In winter 2019/20 season, the Star Alliance carrier will introduce Boeing 787 service on this route, replacing Boeing 767, while overall frequency increases from 2 to 3 weekly from 17DEC19 to 07JAN20.

Service begins from 14DEC19.

AC589 YYZ1635 – 2130HNL 788 2
AC589 YYZ1635 – 2130HNL 789 67

AC590 HNL2305 – 1230+1YYZ 788 2
AC590 HNL2305 – 1230+1YYZ 789 67

Day 2 operates from 17DEC19 to 07JAN20.

https://www.routesonline.com/news/38...t=air%20canada

I was very surprised to see in the new pdf timetable (effective May 2) that this service, which has always been seasonal ending April 30, is now continuing to operate through the summer. It's once weekly (Saturday) on an A330.

Additionally, the seasonal YYC-OGG service, which has always ended April 30, has also been extended to operate through the summer. Three times weekly on a mainline 767.

I have no hard information. I was informed that AC was considering adding or changing the Lisbon -YYZ flight from Rouge to regular AC in the fall. Any thoughts?

Wonder if AC thinks they'll need to compete with TP's A330neos.

Given their fleet constraints at the moment, I highly doubt anything will be confirmed (if at all) before the 7M8s are back in the air.

I recently flew Rouge to LIS and returned on TP and there is a huge difference in the hard and soft product.

TP will definitely be my preferred carrier across the atlantic from YYZ esp if going to Iberia/Southern Europe.

Only thing I'll say is the Rouge meal YYZ-LIS was actually palatable, quite nice chicken and veg.

If and when the Neo is on the LIS-YYZ route, it will be hands down the better option.

I understand, but I am almost positive TP does not fly LIS-YYZ non-stop. To get to YYZ on TP you have to go through Boston. If so, then Rouge or AC has that nonstop to themselves.
