Air Canada boosts sustainability and innovation by adding five A220-300 aircraft to its fleet. This move strengthens the airline’s commitment to operational efficiency and sets a new aviation standard.
Air Canada has ordered five A220-300s from Airbus, marking a key milestone in its fleet expansion. This new order adds to the airline’s earlier commitment to the A220, bringing its total to 65 aircraft. The airline continues to lead in sustainable aviation.
Since 2020, Air Canada has operated the A220-300, connecting travelers to over 70 destinations. Built in Mirabel, Quebec, the A220-300 also supports Canada’s aerospace sector while enhancing passenger comfort.
The A220-300 focuses on fuel efficiency and sustainability. Its Pratt & Whitney GTF engines reduce fuel consumption and carbon emissions by 25%. The aircraft can run on up to 50% Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), with a goal to reach 100% SAF compatibility by 2030. These features help Air Canada reduce its environmental impact.
By late 2024, Air Canada operates 134 Airbus aircraft, including A220-300s, A320s, and A330s. The airline has also ordered 26 A321XLRs, strengthening its fleet and commitment to modernization. Air Canada leads in innovation and sustainability.
