Air Canada's longest Bombardier CRJ900 routes exceed over 1,100 miles

Air Canada is using its Bombardier CRJ900 aircraft for some of its longest routes this December, with flights exceeding 1,100 miles. These regional jets are part of the Air Canada Express brand, which serves slimmer routes and feeds into the broader Air Canada network. The CRJ900 flights will complement or replace certain mainline services.

The longest route this month is between Montreal and Denver, covering 1,611 miles. This route will be operated twice in December by the CRJ900, usually served by an Airbus A220-300. "AC1073 departs Montreal at 08:05, arriving in Denver at 10:35," with a return flight "AC1074 departing Denver at 11:25 and arriving in Montreal at 17:08." These flights provide a total of 152 seats.

Another significant route is from Vancouver to Phoenix, spanning 1,230 miles. This service typically uses larger aircraft but will see two CRJ900 flights in December. The schedule includes "AC1054 departing Vancouver at 08:25 and arriving at Phoenix Sky Harbor at 12:33," with the return flight "AC1055 departing Phoenix at 13:25 and arriving in Vancouver at 15:45."
