Orlando, Florida, known for its warm climate and theme parks, attracts millions of visitors annually. Among these are travelers from Canada, a market that Air Canada is targeting with increased capacity for the upcoming spring break.
Air Canada plans to deploy its Boeing 777-300ER on select flights between Toronto Pearson International Airport and Orlando International Airport. The airline will operate this 450-seat aircraft three times weekly from February 28 to March 14, 2024. In total, Air Canada will conduct 15 flights using this widebody aircraft. "This move likely hopes to capitalize on spring break demand—Florida is a popular destination for leisure travelers at that time of year," according to Ishrion Aviation.
The Canadian carrier's capacity expansion comes as weather conditions improve. Data from Cirium indicates that Air Canada will start January 2025 with 50,930 available seats across 266 flights on this route. The Airbus A321 is the most frequently used aircraft during this period.
