Manchester: Air Canada News & Flight Discussion

That's very true. My sister emigrated to Vancouver many, many years ago and now normally would route in via Europe although this year she's trying Icelandair.

VFR has been dwindling for many years now, but don't forget that Canada remains a very popular destination for tourism. Demand is still there, albeit reduced from the heyday of VFR.

Today Aeroroutes reporting Air Canada announced all flights to MAN will be operated now by Omni 767s until the end of the season 🙄☹️

 

[mullion]

OK why are we getting A330 now on a different flight number

 

[Timberwolf]

Yes I noticed one the other day going in to MAN..Let's hope they stick and the article is wrong.

 

[Scottie Dog]

Life is very confusing at present - even more so as I'm on holiday at present in Scotland and not keeping my normal eye on things!
Normal life will resume, for me at least, next week.

Pearson's departures webpage is showing AC2410 leaving for MAN tonight at 22:15 local. I believe this is the first of the re-rescheduled flights as the others earlier this week were the proper AC A333 (AC908/9). So it looks like we're back to the squadie (Omni) 767 as per Aeroroutes stated.

 

[mullion]

Was the 767 cancelled yesterday as a 787 turned up very late and is showing cancelled today.What a mess

 

[BlueManc]

Isn't it. C-FRSE arrived late last night. Departure boards have two departures today.

12:05 TORONTO (YYZ) AC2411 Air Canada T2 Go to Gate B3
13:30 TORONTO (YYZ) AC2111 Air Canada T2 Scheduled

?

 

[Scottie Dog]

Presumably the AC2411 is the Omni Air and the AC2111 is the B789.

 

[BlueManc]

AC2411 = N378AX and taxying out.

 

[mullion]

C-FRSE B787 has finally taken of as AC2111

 

[robsh34]

Increasing to 6 per week next summer, up from 5 pw this summer.

Flights will alternate between the 787-8 and 787-9 which do have a superior product

Hopefully they won't downgrade it from an AC widebody to an Omni 767 again next year.

The Omni Air 763 that AC wet lease does not show on the sites like FR24 as it is frequently used by the US military

 

[LS@MAN]

I’ve noticed recently it has been showing on the arrivals and departures but with only the airline logo and not a photo of the aircraft.

 

[laviation]

Back in business next summer anyway. 6 weekly 787 - 8 and 9 alternating
