This New Airbus A321XLR Double Win for Air Canada! Here’s Why

[@DannyBoy20802]

Great quote from Helen Keller there 2:20

[@kingstonsean]

"Hellen Keller"? 2:15. You just trying to see if we're paying attention?

[@JulianFaunce]

It’s great to see airlines prioritizing efficiency and range. The A321XLR seems like a perfect fit for Air Canada.

[@FLIGAVIA]

Every airline does that

[@AmbraPagnotto]

Kudos to Air Canada for prioritizing sustainability with the A321XLR. A big step forward for the airline industry.

[@FLIGAVIA]

yep thank you for the feedback

[@DeodataCocci]

The A321XLR is going to be a game changer for Air Canada. Can't wait to see these flying to new destinations!

[@FLIGAVIA]

Yes!!

[@Osamalucky]

It has already launched a direct air route between Montreal, Canada to Marrakech, Morocco with the same A321 Neo model

[@MelissaJ.Shapiro]

Air Canada is really stepping up their game with the A321XLR. Smart move for those long transatlantic routes!

[@GloriaK.Coffey]

Great to see Air Canada investing in fuel-efficient technology with the A321XLR. Sustainability is key!

[@FLIGAVIA]

you're right

[@FedericaFanders]

Air Canada going with the A321XLR shows they’re serious about staying competitive. Boeing’s got some catching up to do!

[@FLIGAVIA]

Yes

[@cainneachdaugherty7172]

With US preclearance at several Canadian airports, many US bound passengers will prefer transiting through Canada rather than transiting to a US domestic flight.

[@MoseVaser]

The versatility of the A321XLR is impressive. Air Canada is really positioning itself well in the post-pandemic market.

[@FLIGAVIA]

true, thanks for your comment

[@JaxonBleasdale]

The A321XLR is a game changer for Air Canada’s fleet. Can’t wait to see how this improves our international routes and gives us more options to fly direct

[@sebastianfloyd372]

Don’t forget that Air Transat is ordering A321XLRs too

waiting for experience on A321xlr

[@PiccadillyAvenue]

Let's hope the A321XLR will mean reinstatement of direct service between Ottawa and European hubs such as London and Frankfurt. Trouble is, that might not happen for 2 years.

[@JohnJackir]

Air Canada is making a bold move with this fleet upgrade. The A321XLR’s flexibility will definitely pay off.

[@FLIGAVIA]

yep thanks for your comment

[@LiberaMoretti]

Air Canada’s choice of the A321XLR is a smart move! The range and efficiency will really give them an edge on international routes.

[@FLIGAVIA]

that's true

[@alexcooke7413]

I’m hoping that they’ll restart doing Edmonton to London routes! We haven’t had them since the pandemic and it’s been a huge loss

[@John-nc4bl]

BOYCOTT London as it is one of the worlds most expensive airports for airlines and also for passengers. It is located on an island peripherally detached from mainland Europe and many pax have to 'dogleg' thru LHR in order to reach their destination on mainland Europe.

[@SeinaNishioka]

Air Canada’s decision to go with the A321XLR shows their commitment to enhancing the customer experience. Can’t wait to fly on one!

[@FLIGAVIA]

[@AijaMyllys]

So glad to see Air Canada making smart choices with the A321XLR. This will really help boost our connectivity across the Atlantic without the need for those big wide-bodies. Exciting times ahead

[@FLIGAVIA]

Couldn't agree more!

[@GomesFereira]

This new aircraft will likely open up a lot of new route opportunities for Air Canada. The future looks bright!

[@FLIGAVIA]

[@SadaeTakata]

Love that Air Canada is focusing on sustainability with the A321XLR. This aircraft is going to make a big difference in reducing our carbon footprint

Smart move by Air Canada The A321XLR is perfect for reaching those medium-haul international destinations. Great to see the airline thinking ahead

[@FLIGAVIA]

[@Young_rich_king]

Why the hell would you put an Airbus A220 for cover of video with A321 cockpit windows ? 🤨

[@ghostrider-be9ek]

and the crew rest area, isolated from pax, is where?

[@juliechaston]

The same point(s) have been repeated at least half a dozen times and I'm barely a quarter of the way through... which is as far as I'm going. what could have been interesting content is instead crap AI.

[@FrewstonBooks]

AC is switching ever more from Airbus to Boeing, so the A321XLR will be a bit of an orphan in the fleet, with few opportunities for Cross crew qualification with other aircraft.

[@Prodagist]

Not really. Air Canada currently still operates plenty of A320 and A321 ceos, so it would be a relatively easy transfer for those pilots to the new XLR's. Even after their retirement, Airbus aircraft will still make up the majority of Air Canada's narrow-body fleet, with 60 A220s and 30 A321XLR's compared to their 48 Max 8s.

[@FrewstonBooks]

@@Prodagist Thank you for that. When I lived in Canada, back in the 90s, (i.e. before 9/11), i got to travel in the cockpit of one of its then new A320s from YYZ to YVR (the first officer was a neighbour). Great flight.

[@rtbrtb_dutchy4183]

@@ProdagistA220 and A320 have no cockpit commonality. I do agree with what you said though.

[@Prodagist]

@@rtbrtb_dutchy4183 You're not wrong with saying that, I just kind of meant that as showing that Air Canada will still have many Narrow-bodies from Airbus

[@ณภัทรสุขแสง]

Air Canada was previously mostly Boeing?

[@TruthProvider]

Not really. AC has historically had quite a mix. Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, Bombardier, DeHavilland, BAE etc...

[@The_Red_Squirrel]

Also, back in the 1960s and early 70s, they were exclusively DC8 rather than B707. Back then there wasn't an Airbus option, but the times are changing as Airbus leads in the commercial aviation sector.

[@Avr-c1z]

the thumbnail was a mix of a a220 winglets and a321 neo

[@bobc5730]

Airbus is trouncing Boeing. I think AC will migrate towards Airbus as the Boeing company turn around will take a decade to accomplish.

[@alasdairblack393]

So how is flying 3 1/2 hours in the wrong direction to a hub only to fly back over the airport that you started from 7+ hours before to finally go a further 5 1/2 hours to where you want to go, how is that sustainable or fuel efficient ? Please AC, reinstate the direct flight CYYT- LHR. Which an A220-300 would eat for lunch.

[@jfmezei]

A small plane doing transatlantic should never be pitched as being environmentally friendly. It still wastes far more than a larger jet flying to a hub and taking train from there. Flying widebody to Paris is more efficient than flying a narrow body to Paris, one to Toulouse and one to Nice. But having 3 separate flights looks better on computer reservation systems form a marketing point of view, especial;l as Air Canada doesn't do business wth Air France or SNCF so can't offer connection from Paris to Nice, Toulouse or Marseille. Air Canada accountants won't like the 321 because they can't put coach as 7 across with narrow seats and 25" seat pitch as they would so want.

[@The_Red_Squirrel]

I think that some airlines have figured it out differently. Are Lingus for one will be offering more US and Canadian destinations from Ireland with the introduction of the Airbus A321XLR. I don't think they would be doing that if it wasn't profitable and if there wasn't demand.

[@PeterNGloor]

problem is - Airbus can't deliver as fast as orders are coming in. The plane is great.

[@FLIGAVIA]

Yes, manufacturers are having problems with delivery delays right now!

[@2strokemerc]

Driven by corporate greed, they will screw it up somehow someway.

[@shanek1300s]

I think before AC buys more aircraft, they should fix their inability to be on time and cancelling the majority of their flights. As a Canadian I don’t fly AC anymore as never know if I will be departing on the day. I think they are ranked as one of the world’s worst on time airlines, when they used to be the best airline in North America.

[@FLIGAVIA]

yes. It's so annoying because of the continuous errors if they keep canceling flights and delaying the time.

[@ganderson158]

Same is true for WestJet

[@patelyasir]

Can't really blame the airline it's also the fact that the airplane are older and require more maintenance with boeing unable to deliver aircraft along with other issues as well as airbus being backlog on delivery for new aircraft

[@IO-zz2xy]

From what I am led to believe, AC is boeing biased airline. They have just ordered a lot more Boeing aircraft.

[@FLIGAVIA]

There are still many customers who love Boeing planes.

[@jamiee156]

Air Canada has a mixed fleet of Boeing, Airbus, Embraer, and others.

[@The_Red_Squirrel]

That might change drastically when the Trump Administration takes over. Air Canada should be buying the best the market has to offer and plan to optimise the fit between their fleet and the destinations it wants to serve.

[@sebastienlemay6120]

Boring video. Repeats the same points for 10 minutes, with no specific Air Canada routes or key points.

[@johnnyraven4217]

The best planes money can buy won’t compensate for AC’s abysmal customer service.

[@rfranklin8540]

I don't know, johnny... a few dozen view-bot comments suggest it's a game-changer, a win-win, a smart move, spot-on, perfectly aligned. What's not to love?

[@lonistewart3405]

Why do people whine about AC's customer service? I've never had a problem.

[@gregorykusiak5424]

Well…these days, if it’s Boeing, you might not be going. Or far if you do. That’ll get fixed, but in the meantime, we have Airbus. (And I actually enjoy the Embraer as a passenger)

[@Plane-Ship-Lover]

Why was the A321LR just like "no one cares about you" *except for JetBlue ofc* while airlines are just like: 😮 to the A321XLR

[@Prodagist]

XLR has more range than the LR, and Airbus figured out a better way to arrange their auxiliary fuel tanks so as not to take up as much cargo space. So the XLR has better range than the LR and can hold more cargo. It's ultimately just an improvement on the LR in every way.

[@Plane-Ship-Lover]
