In April, summer flight schedules began, which brought some airlines that I haven't seen here before. The Polish airline LOT, has started regular service from Warsaw to Los Angeles several times per week and Austrian Airlines is serving Los Angeles from Vienna.
Boeing continues deliveries of their newest 737-800 aircraft, and many commercial airlines worldwide have ordered them. In April both Ryanair(Ireland) and Egypt Air took delivery of these brand new aircraft, and each of them flew over Saskatchewan. Ryanair has been flying direct from Boeing Field in Washington to Dublin, while Egyptair has been making a stop in Iceland before continuing on to Cairo.
It appears that the transponders in these aircraft are particularly strong - the two westernmost points on the rangeplot (south of Red Deer and south of Calgary) were both from new 737-800s being delivered.
