I think this schedule is actually better. This is not a true business route (and the business travelers there would probably take the nonstop anyway). By arriving in the afternoon into DEL it allows easy onward connections for (1) the Punjabis who have relatives picking them up and driving them into Punjab will love the new time (2) Normal Canadian tourists that are touring India during peak season and not starting in DEL (3) those VFR going to other parts of India (which do exist even in YVR). Good for AC. I think they have the perfect Indian network right now. Hopefully traffic will be good and they add X3 YYR-DEL in the summer. With this network, my guess is Canadian regulators will not expand ME3's flights to Canada. |

With YVR-DEL increased and YYZ-BOM up gauged for peak season, it looks like AC is doing quite well on their Canada-India service. Good for them. I wish they would have added another flight to BOM rather than up gauged but I guess that is a cheaper way of adding capacity. |

No...the capacities on their B789 and B77Ls are quite comparable. IIRC, the latter is more premium-heavy. A possible indication of them not doing too badly in BOM. DEL: they are getting good loads, at least.

yes, a lot of *Alliance people wanting to travel to NA, and not wanting to use AI. With CO/UA flying only to DEL. Also, AC has better connections within NA than LH's connections from FRA/MUC.

Yeah to me the 77L with 10 more business seats and a few more Y+ and a slightly more overall seat count is an upgauge. Especially since India-Canada is viewed as lower yielding than USA-India. So seems like AC is doing well. I think it also shows that BOM still has a good size premium supply relative to other indian cities. |

It's no longer CO/UA, just UA. And UA also flies a daily 772 to BOM. |
