  • The Airbus A321XLR is expected to enter passenger service later this year, and Air Canada anticipates taking delivery of its first in the fourth quarter of 2025. The airline is already in advanced planning for how to utilize the aircraft. Simple Flying recently discussed the plans with Mark Galardo, Air Canada's Executive Vice President of Revenue and Network Planning.

      Even the 737 MAX 10 can’t compete with the A321LR or XLR cause the XLR’s range advantage over the MAX 10 is twice the LR’s range advantage.

    Maybe AC could actually fly internationally from Ottawa again...pre-covid there were (full) daily flights to London and Frankfurt. Now nothing to Europe. Painful to do the Montreal or Toronto hop when the demand in Canada's fourth largest city is there for European travel.

    I don't understand why they need this for North American routes. The regular A321neo would give them the entire continent anyway.
    But they opted for the 737 Max instead of going with the Neos. Although AC already operated the A320 family before. I bet they regret that decision!

    Those "premium cabins" A-321XLRs are good news for all the California based actors, execs, and writers filming year round in Toronto and Montreal. It's actually much closer than Europe, contrary to what this video says, but whatever: it's a great tool to have. Also allows service to Mexico, Brazil, Panama, Columbia, and North Africa - the latter which will delight Montreal's Moroccan community. Great move.
