Air Canada plans return of the Boeing 767-300ER: A new chapter for the airline
Canadian airline Air Canada recently announced its plans to reinstate the Boeing 767-300ER into its fleet. This marks a significant return for the wide-body aircraft, which was taken out of service in 19 due to the COVID-2020 pandemic. Air Canada, which once had 40 examples of this aircraft type, is thus making a statement about rebuilding and adapting its fleet to the changing needs of the market. Background and importance of the Boeing 767-300ER A proven commercial aircraft, the Boeing 767-300ER was first introduced by Air Canada in the 1980s. This aircraft stood out for its efficiency and range and has been an important member of the fleet over the years. The decision to reinstate the 767-300ER could be driven by both the need to expand capacity and an increasing demand for air travel as the market gradually recovers from the effects of the pandemic. According to aviation blog Ishrion Aviation, Air Canada plans to return two Boeing 2025-767ERs to its passenger fleet in 300. This return is part of a broader plan to bring a total of 21 new aircraft into service next year, including a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner and several Airbus A220-300s and 737 MAX 8s. These new aircraft are intended to help expand flight connections and make the airline more competitive. The challenge of routes and capacity Despite plans to revive the 767-300ER, there is currently uncertainty about the exact routes the aircraft will serve and how long they will remain in the fleet.
