Is YVR the hub?

Post by Little Star »

Flair's biggest nonstop routes are:

number 1 = YYC - YVR

number 2 = YYZ - YVR

number 3 = YEG - YVR

20.9% of the seats are out of YVR and 18.29% are out of YYZ.

That's a good question. My feeling is that YYZ is the hub, but YVR is a big base with a lot of flying. The longest no-stop route is probably YVR-YUL, at around 2000 nm each way. Some of the Mexico flights are close to that length. I don't have a clear picture of what planes are based where at any one time though so sorry I can't say more and be accurate. YYZ has the disadvantage of not being a 24 hour airport, so maybe edge to YVR?

Both airports are running 5 aircraft.

YYZ will likely have the edge long term due to its more central location in the country geographically, location fo our training facilities and office
