Maybe AC could actually fly internationally from Ottawa again...pre-covid there were (full) daily flights to London and Frankfurt. Now nothing to Europe. Painful to do the Montreal or Toronto hop when the demand in Canada's fourth largest city is there for European travel.
@@herpderp159 Yeah, and people who've experienced even the worst of the worst of the Euro Legacy Carriers never want to fly AC again, Air France basically just killed AC in the Ottawa Transatlantic market.
I don't understand why they need this for North American routes. The regular A321neo would give them the entire continent anyway. But they opted for the 737 Max instead of going with the Neos. Although AC already operated the A320 family before. I bet they regret that decision!
They've done well with the 737 Max 8's, really nice ride actually. Air Canada can use both A320 and 737 family aircraft, other major North American airlines like Delta, American Airlines, United do the same.
If you mean the map shown, not really. And you have to keep in mind at least one, better two diversion destinations too. But Senegal should be fine with these reserves taken into account.
ETOPS certification has to do with the airline, its governing body for its nation and the route structure. There’s no one size fits all answer but in short to answer your question….. yes it does.
Those "premium cabins" A-321XLRs are good news for all the California based actors, execs, and writers filming year round in Toronto and Montreal. It's actually much closer than Europe, contrary to what this video says, but whatever: it's a great tool to have. Also allows service to Mexico, Brazil, Panama, Columbia, and North Africa - the latter which will delight Montreal's Moroccan community. Great move.
I just hope they don't put the rear toilets inside the employee kitchen. There's literally nowhere to go when you're standing there waiting to go. It's so awkward.
That was a bone-headed move to put the washrooms by the galley. Couldn’t they install four washrooms in the fuselage mid section? And hang heavy curtains so that passengers sitting by the washrooms are not so negatively impact by all the people going to the washrooms.
I love these videos - but PLEASE stop repeating the same lines 2 or 3 times - better to be more efficient with the intro and have more videos than try to expand 2 minutes of content to 3.5 minutes!!!
Need the XLR to fly to California? It can fly all the way to Hawaii. The standard A321neo can get to San Diego, forget about the LR. I was surprised Air Canda only restarted flights between Hongcouver and Singapore this year, but with incompetent execs like this it makes sense.
JetBlue will love this aircraft.
JetBlue did not order it
@@ericwalker2434they ordered 13 aircraft’s
@@thefreshmaker001 maybe LR, not XLR
I bet Boeing is crying now for why they stopped the 757
It was simply born at wrong time.
@@LocPham-pb2dvthey ought to have kept it in the “might need this” file.
No not really
@@managed9348 yes now airbus is stealing 757 customers
Even the 737 MAX 10 can’t compete with the A321LR or XLR cause the XLR’s range advantage over the MAX 10 is twice the LR’s range advantage.
looking forward what Airlines can do towards FAA concerning the XLR's RCT
Well the aer lingus a321xlr is already in construction so I wonder how that one in specific will be affected

Agreed! They always used archaic 767’s, but I believe the route ended because their retired them . Maybe this XLR allows the route to come back?
They'll have to compete with the YOW-CDG Air France flight now, though. They may not want to. I hope they bring back the London flight though.
@@herpderp159 I’m praying new equipment will bring it back
Same, although I’m hoping for Edmonton transatlantic flights
@@herpderp159 Yeah, and people who've experienced even the worst of the worst of the Euro Legacy Carriers never want to fly AC again, Air France basically just killed AC in the Ottawa Transatlantic market.
Unfortunately the XLR won’t help Air Canada’s abysmal customer service and on time performance
It will
@@Jabsbshs
Aircraft don't fix shoddy customer service and bad management.
It can help solve one of those problems. Customer service? Not so much.
My thoughts exactly. Onboard service is 3rd world at times.
It will most likely open up the quebec city market to europe which is already marketed by air canadas competitors
Non-stop Scotland to Vancouver would be awesome for me!
Agree or Vancouver - Dublin!
@@noelgenoway9360already flying seasonally!
These would replace their current older A320 & A321s? Pity they dont have any A350s on order
Uses the 787 instead of
Smart plan unlike some of other purchased aircraft of the past that I need not mention…
More direct flights to Montreal would be great.
Less well known destinations like Glasgow, Edinburgh, Aberdeen for transatlantic routes would be worthwhile for the A321XLR!
Ottawa-London I hope
Wasn’t the range reduced to 8400km or something for parts required for the additional fuel tank?
I am already thinking in how good it will feel to fly on in the future
Makes for some interesting options alright.
Hopefully Air Canada orders some A330 neo’s also
Chances of that are very low tho
Me too. But it seems they're going with the 787 for medium capacity long haul
Don’t need them.
They will probably just continue to order second hand ones if they still feel the need to deploy them.
@@harkmi3 nah they'll wet lease some 15 years later
Ottawa-Heathrow please!
actually this plane is more make sense like Ottawa to manchester or even city like edinburg too.
@@QiuyuanChenRyan916 Maybe even Dublin
I would hope for YOW-LHR with this plane!
When is the certification going to come & start delivering
What is the difference between restart and resume? Keen to know.
Lol

Political decision by CEO, Boeing’s assistance during air canada’s bankruptcy restructuring.

Great choice by Air Canada!!!
I wonder if they will use it to open new or add frequencies to Hawaii with them.
You're focused on flights from Toronto/Montreal, but what longer/thinner routes would also become possible out of Vancouver, to Asia ?
Kingston,Jamaica! To the Bahamas I hope!
GREAT ideas and planning AC! and yes, please keep expanding to the United States?
No mention of Vancouver departures.
Looking forward to AC European (and LHR) flights from Ottawa restarting.
I wanna go in it!
Is that range plot taking in account average mandatory extra fuel security margins?
Yes.. sort of. The issue is that the spare fuel depends on secondary airport

So are they replacing the a330 now I hope not
Only if the capacity is not needed. The A330's will probably serve other routes, I doubt that Air Canada would sell them.
@@damcoentertainment3956 like u mean they use the Neos in mid and short haul flights
@@damcoentertainment3956 They'll flip em' to the Government lmao,
Come to Cardiff please Air Canada 🇨🇦 🙏 ❤️
@user-tk2me8xy1f how about people flying across Air Canada's network to Cardiff or vise visa?
I hope AC will reopen the YYZ-BUD route, maybe launch the YUL-BUD.
I second that 🇨🇦😎🇭🇺
I hope they send more if to Algiers
Yes, they need to give the choice during winter. Actually AC operates only during summer ☀️ 😮💨 we're stuck with Air Algerie 😑
I think it may feel small inside
Looks like the XLR could reach Accra and Lagos hmmm
Nah bro
Practically, I doubt.
Yep. Quicker for folks to bring the relatives over.
A321 XLR won't fly straight to 10 to 11 hours so obviously it won't gonna happen. Unless they refuel at Senegal
Great Air Canada
Great
How will impact western Canada ?
Vancouver to Japan？
What is the boeing equivalent of this a321 xlr
probably the 757-200

This aircraft is very exciting to me🎉
So passengers choose narrow boat for long haul not wide body luxury ship??? that's amazing.
Cheap vs expensive
What about spirit
Problem isn’t the airplane, it’s the airline and dealing with the indifferent staff.
Glad they went this way rather than boeing
I would prefer to drive than flying with Air Canada!
Maybe if P&W can figure out their engines. The A220 is suffering greatly.
Not really, its been fine. The Embraer E2 also uses those same engines yet has been doing great for Porter with no issues too.
Wish the got some a350s
Oh no, gonna be flying on this little plane over the Atlantic in even more uncomfortable seats 😢
He said A330 is still too big even in summer to Toulouse.
I don't like single aisle plane on flights over 3 hours.
Just like flying the DC 8 or 707 40 years ago
Okay, but I bet that the vast majority of the flying public won't care if it saves them money and time

Actually, its the opposite. Air Canada ranks highly.
Air Canada should consider the Boeing 757 which is more reliable and most likely by passengers
Personally I like and prefer Boeing
They don’t make it anymore
Buck Foeing!
the max8 is trash quality compared to the neo
No big deal. If it doesn't work out another taxpayer bailout will cover any problems.
Good decision and retire the troubled 737 max
I’m soooooo glad I left Canada and got us citizenship
