Air Canada to Fly New Boeing on Key Routes

Air Canada will operate its first new Boeing 777 aircraft on key routes serving Europe, Asia and the South Pacific. As the airline begins introduction in April of the first of eight new 777 aircraft to be delivered in 2007, it will immediate place these aircrafts on select Air Canada services to London, Frankfurt and Tokyo.

In addition, effective December 14, Air Canada will introduce daily nonstop service between Vancouver and Sydney, Australia using its new 777 aircraft.

With the introduction of non-stop service to Sydney, the carrier has suspended near-term plans to operate flights to Australia via Los Angeles in view of the lack of necessary authorizations at this time to operate the route.
