Manchester-3
Do we know why the Air Canada flights from Manchester are so eye wateringly expensive 🤔
On certain days they are nearly treble the amount offered by Air Transat in fact they are so dear its cheaper to get a flight via Cairo!
Their flights from Heathrow on exactly the same days are 60% cheaper.

Rather than comparing against Heathrow ( where highly competitive and massive over capacity in the back of the bus is dumped at discounts) , a better measure might be against Edinburgh or the secondary French cities perhaps Lyon for compable price bundles.
Many Canadian companies and sectors are notorious for high prices even in competitive markets - Looking at you Roberts Telecom.
All that said may in fact simply be an intentional policy of managed decline on a pretty pathetic service idk.
That repost has been made every season by someone, even under the Rouge brand.

Heathrow competitive? To USA for sure but not to Canada. It's overwhelmingly Air Canada by quite some way with BA miles behind and Westjet niche on one flight per day. Is it the case that Air Canada are selling competitively FROM Canada or is it expensive fron both ends?
Well, if you add Gatwick into the equation, that’s an extra BA YVR, plus the two daily WS flights split between YYZ/YHZ/YYT on the MAX.
Still need BA back to YYC and someone on YEG-LON though.
I imagine a WS YYZ-MAN on the 737 would definitely drive the fares down

In London as a wider consideration Air Transat and Westjet and even BA are “stealing” price conscious at Gatwick ,whilst long standing Canadian poachers AFKL can’t be ignored across the UK market .
I’d say that’s a competitive market.
I don’t think ( correct me if otherwise) that Air Canada has actually increased their slot holdings at Heathrow in decades through usage and destinations service have been consolidated. Long gone Edmonton, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Gander, St John’s and I think fewer services are terminating in Vancouver . As have the hops Europe and onto India ( did I read that they are restoring a onward flight to India in autumn using the Calgary aircraft; will be interesting to see what they drop to accommodate the return sector)

The inaugural PVG-MAN service is now airborne. ETA 06:15.
This leaves Manchester with 14 weekly flights to the Greater China region, rising to 16 when Cathay increase to 6 weekly from 1st December.

It’s a good question and what the balance of sales are IDK to be honest. However we can say the traditional VFR mothers and daughters cohorts of the later 20th century are no longer there today.
