Air Canada has just announced a very exciting aircraft order, which I think many of us were anticipating.
The A350-1000 is an incredibly capable plane with great unit costs and impressive range, and it’s among my favorite planes to fly. Air Canada notes how the plane has the range of approximately 9,000 nautical miles, which will allow the airline to fly just about anywhere it could want to go, with operating costs that are 25% lower than on previous generation aircraft.
The airline is currently further modernizing its long haul fleet with 14 Boeing 787-10s, as well as 30 Airbus 321XLRs, with deliveries expected within the coming year. That’s in addition to this new Airbus order. All of these planes will enter service with Air Canada’s next generation cabin design and standard, including enhanced inflight entertainment and connectivity.
