Air Canada to add eight more Boeing 737-8 aircraft to its fleet
Air Canada announced that it has signed an agreement with BOC Aviation Limited to lease eight Boeing 737-8 aircraft.
“We look forward to these aircraft entering into service next year, upon the completion of some required modifications. These eight, brand-new, fuel- and cost-efficient 737-8s will provide more fleet flexibility and additional capacity while supporting one of our sustainability goals of mitigating emissions,” said Michael Rousseau, President and Chief Executive Officer of Air Canada.
