  1. What do you think is causing the large international numbers? Did the Korean flights in August play a role? Or has YYC been supporting our international destinations and carriers very well?

  2. I be led to believe it is a mixture of all flights. YYC now maintains summer flights to the Caribbean and Mexico which helps the numbers (but the demise of Mexicana may change these numbers a bit in September) plus we still have the AC NRT flight, Korean as you mentioned and Europe flights continue to be quite full over the Spring and Summer months.

  3. Mexicana loads were around 50-60% once the visa requirement was slapped on the country. Korean didn't start until the very end of July so that didn't play too much of a role. More so the NRT flight (which didn't have great loads either) but it still was a new service and increased 95-100% loads on all the Europe flights increased the numbers dramatically.
