YYZ to get Scheduled IL96 service!

[DAL767-400ER]

^Doubt it would be due to high loads, considering the A320 offers significantly fewer seats than the IL-96 . Would guess this is due to unscheduled maintenance on the IL.

Is Cubana still sending the IL96 on the 17th? CU 180 is listed as an A320 on www.cubana.cu

Oh well, I'm busy this Sunday anyway....
Anyone for first Sunday in January?

[ptbodale]

It's Saturday afternoon and Air Canada shows the flight as an A320 (CU181 YYZ-HOG-HAV).

I better not see an A320 tom...

[MaxPower]

Could well be that Cubana used the aircraft to other destination, thus making CU short of machines, so they're sending the A320 over to YYZ ...

Just found out, starts the 24th threw to March.

The schedule shows the IL9 starting on the 24th. It was sked as an A320 today.
