767s on YOW-LHR/YOW-FRA
Hi all,
Anything concrete on when the 767s will be dropped on YOW TATL routes in favour of 787s? Booking my summer holidays to Europe and have heard the old pods are in pretty rough shape. Thanks! |
The 767s are being retired throughout the year, but the only insight we have on when they'll disappear is whatever is on the schedule. So if the flights are currently marked as being operated by 763, that's the most likely scenario as of now.
As for the old pods, yes, although the one advantage is that they don't deflate. |
Be careful what you wish for. Some rumours have the 767s being replaced by the 7M8 out of YOW, at least some of the time. If that happens we’re going to be wishing for the 767s back. Even the 788 is a capacity upguage, and I don’t know if they can operate 888/889 and 838/839 with more capacity and still maintain acceptable loads. Hopefully these rumours are wrong... |

Be glad there are still some 767s in the fleet. |

It's definitely a concern. They struggle to fill the 767s outside of peak travel times.

Can 737s operate out of Ottawa?
I can see 888/889 going to 7M8 year round and 838/839 operating in the summer on a 788, maybe 5 days a week. Want a J seat to LHR? Connect in YYZ or YUL. Not like there is another option... |
I already fly via YYZ (and sometimes YUL) to Europe at least half of the time. The YOW-LHR flight arrives too late into London for me. If the 7M8 operates 888/889, I will not take it eastbound, but I won't mind taking it on the return daytime flight from LHR to YOW.
-- 13F |
I took the 7M8 from YUL to DUB and that was far enough for me.
I will not take the 7M8 to LHR from YOW if it comes here. I will find another route. |
They need to keep at least one 767 for the LGA cancelled flight sweeps.
I have flown most of my adult life in the 767 and have no issues with them (even if they are now held together with duck tape on occasion) |

Don't they use them YUL (or is it YYZ?) to BOD already, or at least already announced? |
This discussion is exactly why Air Canada is looking at the A321XLR and the Boeing 797 (or whatever single aisle they replace the 757 with, if they do). 787 too big, 737 too small, everything else doesn't have the range.

787 too big. 7M8 works as long as there is not much of a business class market, i.e. Dublin, Bordeaux, Iceland and the like. But you would think YOW-LHR might be a good J market. |
