They do fly to Seattle, it wont surprise me if they do start service. There are rumours that Cebu Pacific has plans to fly to YVR as well as Tianjin Airlines. These are rumours though. It also won’t surprise me if a MEA 3 will start to YVR
I know all of the small Chinese airlines that want to start North American routes always look to YVR. I know Emirates won’t come because Air Canada will talk to the government about it
They are also moving to Vancouver Island. There is a lot of buildings going up in Nanaimo/Victoria and near my place (Duncan). Now lets get back on topic I guess
I’m assuming it is partially due to China’s policy of only awarding major international routes to one airline, so there are no 2 Chinese carriers competing on the same route, Vancouver to China would be no exception.
