This is amazing news and will make our travels to Cozumel that much easier! Presumably they have some higher-revenue-opportunity flights for those aircraft on weekends. You can bet that they will be flying every day of the week; the airlines then optimize the schedules to maximize revenue.

This is a good point. Airline economics are interesting. RE: Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF - SammyOES - 08-28-2019 Are the flights to Toronto ending? I was looking on the FlyGTA site for a date in October but there doesn’t seem to be anything available after the end of August. RE: Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF - Coke6pk - 08-29-2019 It's been months since I've seen them here.... RE: Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF - bgb_ca - 03-22-2020 I noticed a low flying commercial jet a few minutes ago, and was curious what flight it was. It showed up on flightaware as a sunwing 737 from Hamilton. I thought this was highly strange as I thought sunwing canceled the flights from ykf due to covid. RE: Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF - panamaniac - 03-22-2020 I don't know if it's accurate, but I had read somewhere that YKF was being used to park a number of aircraft that had been taken out of service. Anybody been out there?

My first though that it was a WestJet from Calgary -- but unsure if those flights are still on, plus this one didn't actually look like a WestJet. RE: Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF - timio - 03-22-2020 There was a release earlier this week that said the secondary runway and taxiway was going to be closed to allow storage of unused planes. Quote:Our Secondary Runway and Taxiway B will close Sunday, March 22, 2020 for approximately one month to accommodate parking of commercial aircraft grounded in response to the global pandemic. Edit: Adding link and quote.

Ah thanks. I looked at ykf's history for today on flightaware, and it showed two sunwing planes from Edmonton, two from Toronto, and the one from Hamilton I saw earlier so I guess sunwing are parking them here. RE: Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF - taylortbb - 03-23-2020 There's a photo on Reddit of several parked Sunwing planes at YKF. https://www.reddit.com/r/kitchener/comments/fn954e/six_sunwing_b737_aircraft_parked_at_waterloo RE: Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF - panamaniac - 03-23-2020 A bit of revenue for YKF in slow times ... RE: Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF - Rainrider22 - 03-23-2020 WOW.. Picture looks cool RE: Region of Waterloo International Airport - YKF - bgb_ca - 03-23-2020 If I am reading Flightaware correct, there are 13 of them here now.
