LR has less belly volume but it can lift about 10t extra.

Hmmm... what heavy, compact cargo could be flying in/out of Zurich?

Things that are subsequently stolen from the airport in YYZ? 😉

More schedule juggling for XLRs. I do expect some more*.

YUL-YVR down to 2 days in September.

AC has been pretty quiet, is CTS the only Asia routes launching this winter? Would be a bit disappointed if that's the case.

Moderator note: a number of posts about Doug Ford's plan to take over and expand YTZ have been moved to a new thread in the Canada forum, which is the appropriate venue for discussion of general Canadian airport issues, news, etc.

A few weeks ago I saw on another forum a post referencing a Japanese news article which hints to YYZ-KIX becoming year-round. Not sure how accurate that is, but I'd be surprised if YVR-KIX is not also going year-round if YYZ is.

That would be welcomed, as I wish to see Kyoto in snow
The CTS-YVR route is not timed well for me to sleep, so I am bit wary to book that

That would be great news if it does happen.

It's behind a paywall but the blurb at the top mentions it: https://www.nikkei.com/article/DGXZQ...6A210C2000000/

I have noticed that YYZ-YVR-SYD has been on a 777-300 instead of the usual -200 lately. Does anyone know why?

Potentially to support the increased frequency on YYZ-DEL.

Could be, but I think they were flying the double-Delhi for at least a couple of days with SYD still using the -200.
