This is my home airport and I will gladly accept any additional routes with open arms from SNA. But, with the exception of IAD, you can fly to every UA hub from SNA and since SNA isn't a hub, I don't see UA opening any other routes out of SNA. But I would love it just as much as you would!

don't forget that for the return, BLR itself is at 3000' AMSL (similar to ELP). days range from warm to hot throughout the year. although the BLR departure would probably be during the coolest part of the day.
if the route wasn't so technically challenging, i think UA would be on it at this point.

Another southern India destination I'd like would be MAA. Transferring from Intl to domestic terminals in DEL or BOM is such a nightmare, I usually fly to SIN, then SQ to MAA.

Yes, UA needs to figure out Southern India sooner than later. The 2nd Air India privatization auction will fail because of the corrosive union culture within AI. Once India realizes AI has no value, it will let its domestic airlines expand globally. This would effectively euthanize AI and result in several point-to-point flights to/from India. UA needs to figure things out before some of the well-run Indian Airlines become formidable competitors.

It sucks that YOW is so Star Alliance dependent. Would be nice if Westjet joined SkyTeam and finished the JV with Delta. I think if the MAX issues ever get solved YOW could get some more service to Europe
Signed from a guy in YOW looking for more options

United pulls out of certain routes because AC still flies them. EWR for example. YOW has over 5 million travelers so its not a super small station. Star Alliance funnels everything via YYZ. At one point lets say 5-6 years ago there was about 7 flights to ORD a day. Now there is none cause United knows AC will pick up the slack and just send people via YYZ.

In Canada airlines can pretty much do whatever they want. The head lawyer for the body that "polices" airlines , his partner is on the airlines payroll.

We already have LH to FRA, Edelweiss to ZRH and BA/Norwegian to Gatwick. Delta flies seasonal to AMS.
Actually, anywhere in Europe would be great.

Some talk, no formal plans to reconsider https://www.flightglobal.com/strateg...129676.article
There is a TATL JV with AC, LH and UA.
