Why The Airbus A321XLR Is A Double Win For Air Canada

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.

Well the aer lingus a321xlr is already in construction so I wonder how that one in specific will be affected

[@leslinklater4967]

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.

[@I999-g2s]

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?

[@herpderp159]

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.

[@richardincm]

You're focused on flights from Toronto/Montreal, but what longer/thinner routes would also become possible out of Vancouver, to Asia ?

[@Free-g8r]

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!

[@purotito88]

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

[@thecaynuck]

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.

[@taylorstuph]

No mention of Vancouver departures.

[@balisaani]

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.

[@nowee_playzz4931]

GREAT ideas and planning AC! and yes, please keep expanding to the United States?

[@BigWhoopZH]

Is that range plot taking in account average mandatory extra fuel security margins?

[@matsv201]

Yes.. sort of. The issue is that the spare fuel depends on secondary airport

[@jantjarks7946]

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.

[@Bdoodee]

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.

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.
