I look at new airline route announcements as opportunities for hunt for award space before the public catches on.
The big BUT here is 4 of the routes will be served by Rouge, which is likened by some to flying Spirit. I have not flown them; mainline Air Canada regional flights are already quite spare.
The routes are:
