A sweeping fleet renewal and an expanded European network signal a confident new phase for Air Canada
Air Canada has launched a comprehensive cabin renewal across mainline, Rouge and Express brands. All Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft transferred to Rouge by 2026 with 12 Business Class seats and free Wi-Fi. A new Rouge crew base opened in Vancouver to serve leisure routes from Western Canada.
Fifteen Airbus A321s completed retrofits with upgraded entertainment and Wi-Fi connectivity. Air Canada introduced five new European routes for summer 2026 including Montréal to Berlin three times weekly.
Mark Nasr shared “When customers step onto an Air Canada aircraft, they should instantly feel a sense of comfort, care, and pride This renewal program is about delivering that feeling consistently, across every flight”
Mark Galardo shared “From Canada to Berlin, Ponta Delgada, Nantes, and Brussels, we are strategically increasing non-stop routes across Europe to bring convenient access to key destinations, while strengthening economic ties and supporting tourism. These additions are a testament to the strength of our network and hubs, our brand, and our customers’ willingness to explore the world”
