Manchester: Air Canada News & Flight Discussion

[Land23R]

Personally I would be cautious about this. Wasn't a A330 or B787 earmarked for this summer only to be replaced by the Omni B767. We can but hope AC do actually operate what they are currently showing for S2024.

The delayed A321XLRs are not due until 2025. Although Manchester not down for the XLRs, it's having a knock-on effect. So, someone on the network will be getting leased kit.

It could be you...

AC has faced specific issues this summer (note that 777 incident). They are expecting a further two 789s which should ease the pressure enough to ensure that MAN doesn’t suffer the Omni treatment again

 

[Timberwolf]

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

Have to see if that holds, pretty pathetic this year, promising A330s then delivering an old Omni 767.

Order for 18 787-10 agreed today. 12 options. Hopefully see at MAN

End of a disruptive season this week.

As previously stated, next year, as it stands, will see:

• Addition of 6th weekly flight
• Upgauge to mix of B787-8 and B787-9
• Season begins Monday 17 June 2024 Toronto departure
• Season end should be the last week of September although not visible in booking system yet

Just read on Simple Flying that Air Canada will be flying the Toronto - Manchester-Toronto route during winter 2026-2027 staring on the 25th October four times a week using the 182 seater A321XLR.
If true this is good news that we will have another flight going west.

It’s true, it has been released by Air Canada on their X page.

So apparently Air Canada Toronto route might be daily in Summer 2027

Air Canada are revising their S27 schedule.

Instead of a daily A321, the service will be a 3 weekly 787-9 going 4 weekly from July.

7 x (14+168) = 1274
4 x (30+21+247) = 1192

not much in it, but daily is much more preferable.

Bigger picture though chaps,

Cargo revenue is not even close - way more revenue opportunities on 789.

Looking at approx 20000kg available capacity for B789
More like 3500kg on 32Q.

When the going rate is anywhere between £2.50-£5.00/kg then you can see why this decision has been made.

(AC do ship on average around 7-12T on each departure from MAN)
