Air Canada Adds Seven Europe and Asia Routes for Next Summer
Air Canada plans to expand its overseas network for next summer with seven new routes in Europe and Asia, building a larger long-haul presence. The carrier expects a fall revenue boost as premium passengers avoid summer heat and will rely on new Airbus A321 single-aisle jets and Boeing 787 wide-bodies, though delivery delays have slowed rollout. By next summer it aims for 125+ international routes to 85+ destinations, excluding the U.S., amid fuel and routing challenges from the Iran war and closed Russian airspace.
