The Moncton -Newark route is not seasonal, it has been in operation since 2006 with one flight daily. During peak Holiday times 2 flights were operated daily with a mix of embraer rj 140 and bombardier q series equipment. During the world junior track meet in 2010 service was upgraded to 737. No reason has been given and United Staff were in Moncton in October of 2013 hinting at an increase in service….
Thank you for the update and correction.
