J. Bullock Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 It would appear that Norwegian's permit has gone through with Transport Canada, July 23rd being their expected fly in date for Canada. No talk on where they would be flying out of, but my assumption would be Pearson or Trudeau. https://otc-cta.gc.ca/eng/ruling/2018-a-36 http://www.travelweek.ca/news/norwegian-air-could-be-in-canada-as-early-as-july-23/ Quote Friday, March 9, 2018 Posted by Travelweek Group TORONTO — Norwegian Air is already causing turbulence among U.S. legacy carriers with its low-cost transatlantic flights from the U.S. to Europe. Now comes word that the low-cost carrier has filed with the Canadian Transportation Agency, with an eye to possibly starting transatlantic flights out of Canada starting this summer. According to airline news site Aviator, Norwegian’s filing with the CTA means it could be up and running with flights out of Canada by July 23. Norwegian has more than 500 routes servicing a network of 150+ destinations. While it’s not the only low-cost or ultra low-cost carrier serving U.S.-Europe routes (others include Primera Air and WOW Air, both also serving Canadian gateways), the LCC’s expansion has garnered enough market share that legacy carriers including American and Delta, as well as British Airways, now offer bare-bones basic economy fares on transatlantic flights. Air Canada and WestJet have also added basic economy fares, to and from select gateways. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9924 Posted March 9, 2018 Report Share Posted March 9, 2018 Hopefully the Canadian Government will be adding caps on frequencies as they did with the ME3 airlines. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL1892 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Share Posted March 10, 2018 My guess would be YYZ but that said I wouldn't be surprised if they went for Hamilton instead... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheAverageJoe Posted March 31, 2018 Report Share Posted March 31, 2018 They would also want to get into YVR, YYC and YUL markets besides either YHM or YYZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL1892 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 As predicted, YHM-DUB as well as Montreal to some of the French Caribbean will be operated by Norwegian - YHM will be on the 737 MAX and the Montreal routes on the 737-800. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/hamilton/norwegian-air-to-fly-from-hamilton-to-dublin-next-march-1.4715487 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9924 Posted June 21, 2018 Report Share Posted June 21, 2018 It would be interesting on what effect the YUL to Caribbean flights will have on TS or WG? Both are really ramping up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
