Air Canada Mapping Error? (www.aircanada.ca)
I play around with the map on Aircanada.ca frequently, and tonight I noticed that they have added routes from yeg to fra and lhr. I assume this is an error? I don't see Air Canada launching these routes at the present time.

the last year I worked at AC and they did this they called all the YEG passengers and told them they would board the flight in YEG so unless it
has changed they do pick up passengers in YEG.

All thats needed is a proper train between the two cities..
Calgary and Edmonton need to address the problem not AC.
Its all of 150 miles........ ????

I still am siding that this is an error. But I do believe YEG will have some sort of scheduled European service in 12-36 mths because of the growth of population and industry. Edmonton is becoming more of centre of commerence than in the past. When I travel abroad with my job, it has been interesting how much notice Edmonton gets in conversation about investment in Canada. 2 years about it was Calgary and T-dot.
