Spot planes Posted December 5, 2013 Report Share Posted December 5, 2013 From Air Canada: Today we have some exciting updates about Air Canada’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet. Our 787 fleet will offer completely redesigned seating and cabin amenities to provide you with the very best in comfort and contemporary design, while simultaneously allowing us to renew our international widebody fleet with the next generation of modern and fuel efficient aircraft. Below are some pertinent details about Air Canada’s launch of Boeing 787 Dreamliner flying. You can find even more information at 787.aircanada.com, including a cabin walkthrough video. Entry into Service Air Canada will take delivery of the first of 37 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft in Spring 2014, and will begin operating the aircraft for a limited introductory period on select flights from Toronto to destinations in Canada and Europe. By July 2014, Dreamliner service will be regularly available on flights between Toronto & Tel Aviv. More flights will be announced at a later date as we receive more aircraft. The fuel efficiency of the Boeing 787 will open up opportunities for Air Canada to serve new international destinations. In-flight Products The interior of Air Canada’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft will feature fully redesigned décor, cabin architecture and seating, desgined to provide you with an exceptional travel experience. With the introduction of the Boeing 787, Air Canada is unveiling a contemporary, sophisticated cabin design highlighted with a pallette of charcoal and neutral tones, accented by Air Canada red. Three cabins of service will be available on the Boeing 787: International Business Class, Premium Economy and Economy. International Business Class will feature 20 lie-flat Executive Pods with an adjustable pneumatic cushion system, extending to 80-inches in length when in a fully-flat sleeping position. The cushioning will also feature a full-length massage function. With a 1-2-1 configuration, each seat will have direct aisle access. The personal entertainment screen, at 18-inches, will be the largest offered by a North American airline in Business Class. What’s more, to enhance your in-flight dining experience, espresso and cappuccino service, featuring freshly-brewed Lavazza coffee, will be available on all Dreamliner services. Premium Economy will feature 21 seats in a 2-3-2 configuration, providing 38-inches of legroom, and equipped with an intuitive touch personal entertainment screen up to 11-inches in size, along with a USB outlet and universal power outlet. Economy will feature 210 slimline seats in a 3-3-3 configuration, optimizing your personal space. Each seat is equipped with an intuitive touch personal entertainment screen up to 9-inches in size, with a USB outlet and universal power outlet available at arm’s reach. In-flight Experience As many of you are aware, the Boeing 787 not only provides a dramatic increase in fuel efficiency versus the Boeing 767 aircraft it replaces. It also offers an unparalleled passenger experience in the cabin, including a quieter, smoother flight with lower cabin altitude & higher humidity levels, complemented by 30% larger windows and cleaner cabin air via an advanced filtration system that brings in fresh air from the outside. New Names for Executive Class and Executive First You may have noticed above that we refer to International Business Class service, where previously we would speak about Executive First – in fact you already caught onto this change here . In order to streamline the names of our in-flight premium services, we will now refer to Executive Class as Business Class. On longhaul international services operated by our widebody fleet, Executive First will now be specially designated as International Business Class. Fleet Renewal Air Canada will take delivery of the first of 15 787-8 aircraft in Spring 2014, and expects delivery of 22 longer range 787-9 aircraft beginning in mid-2015. All Dreamliner aircraft are scheduled to be delivered by 2019. As we welcome more Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft to our fleet, Boeing 767-300ERs will be transferred to our leisure carrier, Air Canada rouge. We look forward to seeing you onboard this exciting new aircraft beginning next year; in the meantime, learn more about Air Canada’s Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet by visiting 787.aircanada.com.
