The Air Transat service has been gone a while now, but there is serious demand for this new YYZ service both sides of the ocean though: The first outbound flight left CWL at full capacity, and the first inbound flight arrived with 112 Canadians on board, so i imagine there won’t be quite enough capacity when things get into full swing. Zoom have already extended the route into the winter season and it’s certain to be served next year too, as they said they would be “doubling the number of routes served” by introducing Vancouver, so I can’t imagine they ditch YYZ and replace that with something else.
Despite the drop in passenger numbers at the start of this year due to a shortage of aircraft by bmibaby and the decision by MYT to make CWL a summer only base, next year things should really take off, especially in the long haul sector. Zoom will serve Toronto & Vancouver, Thomsonfly will introduce Cancun, Puerta Plata and an extra flight to Orlando in addition to existing three services to Orlando. Thomsonfly will also introduce new European routes for the summer and winter and increase the frequencies of existimng ones, to increase there total capacity at the airport by over 50%, more than 500,000 passengers.
