So my question is what happens to the limited Suncor flying they've been doing?

Curious to know if they're going to be marketed as Enerjet?

I could have sworn seeing SkyRegional posting positions for in-house ground handlers but I cannot recall if that was specifically for YUL or YTZ as well.

Sunwing to AMS?

I was on the Sunwing website today and noticed they're advertising YYZ-AMS for a portion of the summer. The flight times don't seem to take into account any fuel stopovers so I'm curious if Sunwing will be leasing a 757 for this service or are they in fact planning a fuel stop with the 738? I though...

I was in YVR the other day and saw Air North's newly acquired -400 series... looking pretty sharp! Anyways, I remember hearing they were supposed to be getting their hands on a -500 series at some point. Is this still true? If so, would that make their jet fleet: 3x-200 1x-400 1x-500 Any insight wou...

Re: Enerjet

I am not 100% certain but I do not believe EJ owns their a/c. Their startup capital may have covered the costs of purchasing 1 73G but definitely not 2. They're for sure ex-Air Tran aircraft. Not sure if they're sub-leased by Air Tran to EJ or if the leasing company is doing business directly with E...

Re: Enerjet

I think the 73G was detrimental to their lack of success thus far. Apart from having the range to operate all of North and Central America at a reasonable fuel burn, the birds would have to fly at least a few times a day - everyday - to keep up with lease payments alone! The lack of capacity versus ...

Re: More Q400's for Porter

I can easily see them adding a few transborder flights from YOW. The route possibilities outside of YTZ are quite high. Grow YHZ more and add a maritime hub or focus city, perhaps. It will be interesting to see what they do outside of the island flying. With up to 10 more planes on the way, there's ...
