At YVR the AC freighters always use a jet bridge.

Probably makes it easier for the lobsters to board.

If the lobsters are self boarding I am standing back. Passengers can be aggressive when they are making tight connections.

If there are any lobsters that miss there connection and AC needs to find local accommodation for the night in Vancouver I may be able to help. Nice hot, salty and well seasoned accommodation they may never leave.

A kind offer no doubt, but I'm sure the lobsters are well trained and would never hold up boarding:

I posted this tweet upthread as the folks at the Cuenta Oficial de la Dirección General de Aeronáutica Civil de Guatemala seemed excited to have the "AC Dreamliner" stop by for a visit.

We have this cargo thread, we have the maintenance thread and the "AC snowbirds in the desert" thread .

Of the 3, I chose this thread. It can certainly be moved to a thread for self-loading cargo of a different variety - with or without a jet bridge.





Sure, I'll order some schnitzel and baklava to go, thanks.




Saw this route the other day as well.

AC 7288 TPE-YYZ is arriving shortly.







Reminds me....loved these. Maybe I should call AC Cargo.

Was in YYZ the other day and there was a 77W (FIVR I think) that was going ICN-YYZ-EZE. Thought that was an interesting route. Curious if there may have been a cargo drop in YYZ or simply refuelling. If it was simply a refuel, it likely would have stopped elsewhere I reckon.

Perhaps also a crew change......

There has been some feedback that the substantive information regarding the current cargo fleet, AC's plans for freighter aircraft, etc, are becoming hard to find in this thread due to the proliferation of FlightAware links and FlightRadar screenshots.

While these may have been novel for a while, it has become rather repetitive.

The moderators would therefore ask for those items to no longer be posted in this thread.

Those interested in tracking these flights regularly are encouraged to head to FlightRadar, FlightAware, etc directly and enjoy them live.

Oops.>>>Sorry just read the post above after posting a screenshot of cargo from akl to yyz. I think it still is cool to see the screenshots even though it might be repetitive to some. I guess that is death by 1000 cuts to the aviation lover in me.>>>>>

YYZ Is pretty much right in the perfect place for this, actually.

ICN-EZE is 12,106 miles.

ICN-YYZ-EZE is 12,175 miles or only 69miles longer.
