Aircraft Configuration for New Routes

Most of these new routes will be serviced by Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, known for their comfort and efficiency:

| Class | Configuration | Features | |-------------------|------------------|---------------------------------------| | First Class | 2-2 | Extra legroom, premium dining options | | Economy Class | 3-3 | Standard seating, in-flight Wi-Fi |

Leveraging Hub Connectivity

Air Canada's main hubs in Toronto, Montreal, and Vancouver will facilitate seamless connections for travelers, enhancing both domestic and international travel experiences.

Meeting Post-Pandemic Travel Demand

With a significant shift towards leisure travel, Air Canada is strategically focusing on direct flights to popular destinations, ensuring hassle-free travel for vacation seekers.
