Why? Even Sabena did not fly daily to Montreal, its only Canadian destination. And now there is even less transit traffic thropugh Brussels to justify a daily flight to Canada.
Yes Andre SN was flying daily to Montreal (Dorval at the time)
And also daily non-stop flights to Boston, Washington, Chicago, Dallas plus two daily flights to New York...(2001 summer timetable)
True, everyone knows that you better have some feeder service at the 2 end of such daily nonstop links but that is how airlines build their network...
Also when I dreamed about a daily Brussels-Toronto BRU-YTO route, I was seeing this as the 2nd leg of a flight served by an asian carrier.... thus the feeding was there.
Of course some sort of cooperation with SNBA is certainly a plus as SNBA has now quite some experience in the sharing of 3d party flights ...
Why daily ?
Because it is a must if you want to aquire a name (and therefore a profit) in this extremely competitive market.
