This has to be the largest regularly scheduled passenger aircraft to ever service BNA. The 777-200ER MTOW is 656,000lb, while the 787-9 is 561,500lb and 737 MAX-10 is 194,700lb. The Atlas Air 747 is the only routine visitor that's bigger.

Yesterday evening from The Tennessean

Nashville: Looking for a quick getaway to the northeast — across the pond and beyond?

Nashville International Airport's direct flights have expanded service on popular routes to Connecticut and London, in addition to several new service options starting this spring and summer.

 

Planes are prepared to take flight near the new satellite concourse at Nashville International Airport in Nashville, Tenn., Monday, Oct. 30, 2023.

Starting May 3, Avelo Airlines will double its service to southern Connecticut's Tweed-New Haven Airport to four times per week.
"These additional flight options, coupled with our everyday low fares and industry-leading reliability, will inspire our Nashville-area customers to fly with Avelo even more this summer," Avelo Chairman and CEO Andrew Levy said. "Getting to Southern Connecticut and everything the greater New England and New York regions have to offer is now easier than ever.
This month, British Airways began flying passengers on larger Boeing 777-200ER jets. The new aircraft increases passenger loads from 214 to 272 people per flight. Why? The airline had been running packed flights. The new planes also add business-class seats.

Other new and expanded routes coming to BNA are:

• April 9: Southwest Airlines starts service to Buffalo, New York.

• April 10: Spirit Airlines service to Dallas Forth Worth and LaGuardia Airport in New York City.

• April 21: Frontier Airlines launches four-times-a-week flights to Dallas Fort Worth.

• April 22: Delta Airlines begins three-times daily flights to Austin, Texas.

• May 1: Air Canada resumes three-times weekly service to Montreal and Quebec.

• May 2: WestJet starts twice-weekly flights to Edmonton, Alberta, Canada.

• May 5: Flair Airlines resumes Toronto service four times a week.

• May 16: Frontier Airlines starts flights three times a week to Chicago O'Hare airport. Allegiant Airlines launches twice-weekly service to Rockford, Illinois.

• May 18: Viva Aerobus resumes Cancun, Mexico flights on the weekends.

• June 4: Southwest Airlines starts Ontario, California flights.

• June 8: Southwest Airlines starts once-a-week flights to Bozeman, Montana; twice-weekly routes to Seattle, Washington and twice-weekly Grand Rapids, Missouri service.

I believe it.
Grand Rapids, Michigan.

When they say:

"Air Canada resumes three-times weekly service to Montreal and Quebec." 

Are they referring to Montreal and Quebec City?  Or does this author just have a peculiar writing style?  lol

[jmtunafish]

Air Canada is going to fly to Montreal AND Quebec?   ??

And it's Delta Air Lines, not Delta Airlines.  (former Delta employee here, it's one of my pet peeves).

But at least the Tennessean got the right airport code for BNA this time (a previous article said it was NAS which is the code for Nassau).

No, just Montreal. The Tennessean is such a stupid newspaper nowadays.

It really is... what a strange way to word that.  It's almost like they have a different freelance author write every sentence.

They're operating the flight for two months out of the year?  What's going on in those two months that's so significant I wonder?

The Winnipeg Sun is saying this is going to be "seasonal service" which I assume means it'll halt during the winter months and pick back up in the spring.

For what it's worth, here are WestJet's other US destinations it currently serves from Winnipeg:  Atlanta, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Orlando, Palm Springs, and Phoenix.

The first time I went to Canada I went to "the Peg". It was the end of October and they were having a warm spell. One evening I was in my hotel room and turned on the local news. The weather segment came on and the weatherman said "chance of snow this weekend-get ready for it for the next 6 months."

I was outta there the next day.

That aside, Winnipeg is quite a nice city.

The thing I remember most vividly about Winnipeg, other than the weather, is that the tap water was so foul that I couldn’t even use it to rinse my mouth after brushing my teeth.
