Enzo Aquarius Posted November 1, 2018 Report Share Posted November 1, 2018 As uncomfortable as they were, and the lack of amenities, they were a very unique flying experience by a major operator. Although they're still operating out west, and by EVAS in the east. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggosareamazing Posted November 8, 2018 Report Share Posted November 8, 2018 I think C-FITL has the new livery. It's like a throwback of Air Canada 90's and British Airways Landor Livery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At present, it looks like Air Canada is focusing painting efforts on the Express aircraft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YZR-YYZ flights are moving from 5 daily B1900's to 2-3 daily Jazz DH-8. The 1900's were never painted in the new scheme and left plain white. Yes Air Canada wants to all B1990's gone due to no washrooms on board. This will be slowly over the next few years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Switching the B1900's to larger planes on lower frequencies frees up slots for AC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Every Air Georgian B1900 I've been on had a lavatory (though they're nothing to write home about, even the MAX 8 ones are better). It may be the EVAS ones that don't.

Nick B Posted February 8, 2019 Report Share Posted February 8, 2019 Air Canada has cancelled their contract with Air Georgian and is transferring Georgian's flying to Jazz. https://nationalpost.com/news/regional-airline-loses-1-5m-passenger-contract-with-air-canada-but-denies-safety-concerns-a-factor?fbclid=IwAR0sZkVWVq4-GygSjKBauFW7-76r7crmjUSmuDwfO1Vq6TS4il3_W66waVg With that, Georgian's 12 CRJ-200s will be transferred to Jazz, Jazz's YYZ CRJ pilot base will reopen, and 14 new CRJ-900s will be added to the Jazz fleet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enzo Aquarius Posted February 16, 2019 Report Share Posted February 16, 2019 Air Canada has released their Q4 2018 results. Some key notes: - Alongside the ex-TAP A330s coming in 2019, Air Canada is getting an additional A330 in 2020. - Embraers are gone as of 2020, as expected. - Retirement of the A320s goes into full swing in 2019, with some transfers to Rouge. - As a surprise, the Express Dash-8-100s are going to be fully retired in 2019, while phasing out of the CRJ100/200s and Dash-8-300s begins. - 8 Dash-8-400s are leaving the fleet in 2020. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghYHZ Posted March 13, 2019 Report Share Posted March 13, 2019 Although the Max8 is still flying in North America (for now!) Air Canada has cancelled the flights they use them on between Halifax and London Heathrow and also between St. John's and Heathrow as all Max8 operations have been grounded in Europe. Passengers are being accommodated via YUL, YOW and YHZ. A St. John's passenger who's flight to London takes a little over 4 hours.....now has to backhaul 3 hours west to Toronto just to connect.

Any plane they can keep in service, is another flight not cancelled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt the MAX grounding will change this; Air Canada has been using Rouge operations and chartering other aircraft to help offset the grounding.

Details here: https://www.aircanada.com/ca/en/aco/home/book/travel-news-and-updates/2019/flights-operated-on-behalf-of-air-canada-5.html and https://onemileatatime.com/air-canada-737-max-grounding/ Air Canada is leasing Qatar Airways A330s for use on YUL-Europe routes. For sure I've seen A7-ACK and A7-ACI running under the Air Canada banner. Routes are AC2400 (YUL-CDG) and AC2402 (YUL-BCN) and return flights. Despite what the article states, I don't see any Omni 767-200s having operated the YVR-HNL route in the past month, but I do see scheduled 767-200 service on the route starting tomorrow (AC4211). Should either be operated by N207AX (currently in Alaska) or N234AX (currently in Las Vegas). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DL1892 Posted July 24, 2019 Report Share Posted July 24, 2019 Omni 767's have been flying AC2411 (both YVR-HNL and YVR-OGG) for at least the last week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomasw Posted July 29, 2019 Report Share Posted July 29, 2019 I was just on Air Canada flight 125 from Toronto to Vancouver and heard that tomorrow she was doing training on the Airbus a220. I am assuming this means they have started receiving some. Does this mean there is a Air Canada a220 in Vancouver or will she need to fly out to Montreal for her training session?

Streety McCarface Posted September 9, 2019 Report Share Posted September 9, 2019 Does anyone know why Air Canada opted to purchase used A330s and keep their A330 fleet longer over exercising options for 787s, and perhaps adding some -10s for the SFO/LAX/YVR flights?

dbdb Posted September 10, 2019 Report Share Posted September 10, 2019 My bet is they needed the capacity now and couldn't wait for newly built aircraft. New aircraft are made to order and the production slots are usually booked years in advance unless there's a cancellation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even with the 4-5 year backlog for the 787, why didn't they place orders now to ensure they get planes in those 5-6 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
