Air Canada has secured eight new Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft from BOC Aviation, a Singapore-based lessor. This acquisition is intended to provide the airline with greater flexibility and capacity in response to rising travel demand. The new jets will feature CFM LEAP-1B engines and are expected to be delivered over the next five months, entering commercial service next year.
The introduction of these aircraft will enable Air Canada to manage its operations more efficiently while meeting both domestic and international travel demands. The MAX 8 models incorporate advanced technologies designed to enhance fuel efficiency and reduce carbon emissions.
In addition to the new MAX 8 orders, Air Canada is awaiting deliveries of other latest-generation aircraft from Airbus and Boeing. As of May 2024, the carrier's order book includes 27 Airbus A220s, 15 Airbus A321neos, and 18 Boeing 787-10s, totaling 60 pending deliveries.
