Suggest Air Canada order Newly Certified Airbus A321XLR. So will be able to supply long distance . service like to London from fewer populated areas like from Ottawa .to London.
I’m from Ottawa. Our mayor has had a couple of meetings with BA in London. The public interest in this route is high. Air France already seized an excellent opportunity and I hope BA follows. AC probably won’t consider this route until some A321XLR’s are delivered.
Good to see the A330neo get new orders! Hopefully Air India orders the A330neo to demand routes that need more capacity then the A320 family and 787-8. It’s a good midsize aircraft with an excellent 2-4-2 configuration.

I’ve been saying it the past few years.. the A330 Neo will kick on. It’s a great aircraft that can be used effectively and efficiently on short or mid range routes that have high density. Or can be used lang range too. Great aircraft. Can’t wait to fly on one.
Airbus must be practically giving those for free to save their a330neo program. Only heavy discounts make the a330neo a better option that the 787 or even upsizing to the a350.
Or that 787 adds little value to Cathay? - 787 has better range that they are not using anyway - nothing beats A350 when it comes to longhaul heavy, and Cathay is a big player in cargo. - GENx is arguably more reliable among current generation engines, but they are famous for being very loyal to RR. - 787-10 has higher payload and capacity for shorter haul, though for some reasons they decided not make use of them. Meanwhile they are having lots of A330s now, and some anyway moving forward. Air Hong Kong within the group have a significant and growing A330 freighter fleet.
@@stevesmoneypit6137 Boeing also offered rock bottom prices to win order including United and Hawaiian, but unlike A330NEO 787 is not that cheap to develop / made.
Boeing have already been selling the 787 for less than it cost to make. 10+ years later and still not made a profit from underselling and all the issues
The A330neo doesn’t owe Airbus much; the development cost was pretty low. Airbus can afford to give good prices. Besides, they use this to ensure that even if the lose a sale to 787, they know Boeing are not making any money on the deal. That suits Airbus just fine. It makes it very difficult for Boeing to modernise its offerings and compete on even terms with Airbus.
The A330 NEO was a very sound strategy for Airbus. People questioned this at the time, but most of the work was done in the form of the original A350, for A330 CEO operators, its a no brainer. A330 NEO sales will exceed 1000 units.
AC making big improvement on OTP? was on a flight from YYZ to LIS last night August 10th . At first flight was delayed by 45, then by another hour then changed of plane at the end we departed at 01:30 on August 11th. There were at least 7 other flights that were delayed on the same night.

If you've got lucky once good for you hopefully you get lucky on your next flight on AC . I flew Air Transat YYZ to LIM earlier this year, first time I flew with them long haul , I was amazed by their service and punctuality, may be I got lucky .
Service on all North american airlines long haul is similar. Air Canada or Air Transat, service and meals are similar, Air Transat saves you a couple of hundred though. European airlines except BA are far better, though even more expensive.

I can see Air Canada wanting to expand more into Aisa with them potentially losing a Star Alliance partner - Asiana, with them being potentially acquired by Korean Air.
The A330 makes perfect sense for them since they have an ageing A330ceo fleet which makes the conversion far easier and cheaper. Also, they plan to use them mostly on short to medium haul routes where the A330neo competes pretty well with the 787 (that is most suited for long haul efficiency).

Honestly happy with Air Canada recently, I used to really dislike them because they had so many issues, but recently, they really seem like they're trying to improve. Service has gotten way better in the recent flights with them. The Comfort on the cabins of their newer planes is leagues better than before, and much better than any other Canadian airline. Their On time performance recently has been impeccable. Looking at the airport board and seeing a billion flight cancelations and delays in canada is normal, but I never thought I'd look at that board, and every one of those be Westjet, and not Air Canada. Even the one time I had a flight delay recently, due to matinence issues, they gave everyone on the flight $50 vouchers for any store in the airport. I know some people will think more compensation is deserved, but it's a massive step forward for Air Canada. Seeing as a few years ago, they probably would have given no compensation. They're really trying to cater to their passengers and its truly been a massive improvement.
Same. My family is from France specifically Toulouse and taking the LaGuardia to montreal flight then montreal to Toulouse flight is so practical especially given the Canada TSA so don’t have to deal with TSA in New York coming back. Literally easiest flight instead of JFK-CDG-Toulouse because I genuinely hate CDG

Have you flown every airline in the world?
Every one of my Air Canada flights has been on-time and very pleasant.
Try West Jet if you think AC is bad
The airline companies in Canada are bad. I have to pay 600-700cad from YVR to YYZ, while I can go to NYC from LAX for 300cad. The power of monopoly…
I’ve flown lots of airlines and air Canada hasn’t been bad for me except when they didn’t give me boarding tickets for all my connecting flights which forced me to go through security at a layover airport.
I found Lufthansa to be the worst with lost and damaged luggage and generally rude staff.
Korean airlines was the best
