But NewLeaf isn't flying to Montreal...did the Star say this was a response to NewLeaf?

No it was my incorrect inference. Still if AC is going back to Hamilton then it puts them in a better position to offer routes to compete with NewLeaf, if as and when NL gets off the ground.

Great for all of Africa. Many cities in French-speaking parts of Africa are served from Montreal and not Toronto.

Also great in situations where a passenger prefers to fly on a non-AC plane. One example is YYZ-ZRH which is operated by AC but YUL-ZRH is operated by Swiss.

Another possible advantage is to avoid the possibility of traffic delays on Hwy401 between Hwy6 and YYZ. That would add another leg to the flight but may actually be more reliable in the end.
