Am YOW based and like to see the service, but is it a plausible scenario that they just don't continue YOW-LHR service? I haven't seen that mentioned, everyone assumes they will find a way with Max8, 330 or 321.

Just taxiing in to YOW and I noticed that AC888 is being operated by a 787-9 tonight. I am sure it is just a 767 gone mechanical, but it was a nice rare sight.
Gives me hope AC could operate 888 and/or 838 with one in the summer time. ;) |

Mechanical indeed. FIN641 stuck in YYZ for engine swap

But it is good to have working engines - no?

I'm guessing 788's for S2020. 767's are slated to retire in 2019.

You guessed correctly. ^

That's reassuring. Although it's what happens in fall 2020 that worries me.
The other good news with this is it should ensure a 788 on a Rapidair as I would imagine no other LHR flight will be operated with a 788, as is currently the case with the 763. |

I wouldn’t worry. AC have said the 788 will be used on the route year-round. It’ll probably continue at 6x weekly in winter just like the 763. YOW has long needed more Euro capacity.

Yeah, very good news!

I just noticed that AC has loaded the 788 (B787-8) into their online schedules for flight AC888 (YOW-LHR) as of April 1, 2020. Interestingly, the return flight, AC889 (LHR-YOW) is also starting 788 service as of April 1, 2020. I would have thought it would start April 2, 2020.
Maybe all these dates are subject to change... |
