Air Canada currently operates a fleet of 39 Boeing 787 Dreamliners, consisting of eight 787-8s and 31 787-9s, with further expansion plans including 18 Boeing 787-10s on order. The airline anticipates one additional 787-9 delivery later in the year. The introduction of the Dreamliner has allowed Air Canada to develop routes previously deemed uneconomical, expanding its global reach significantly.
One of the most notable developments is the expansion of Air Canada's network from Vancouver. "The Asian routes have been particularly significant," according to the data compiled from Cirium, an aviation data analytics company. Vancouver serves as a hub for Air Canada's Pacific routes, including the remarkably extended journey to Singapore Changi Airport, measuring nearly 8,000 miles. Initiated in 2024, it is the only nonstop link between Canada and Singapore, with flights extending up to 16 hours and 40 minutes.
Moreover, Air Canada operates a winter seasonal route from Vancouver to Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport. Although the US lacks nonstop flights to Thailand, this route enables connectivity through Vancouver, leveraging Air Canada's extensive network.
