 Air Canada has signed an agreement with BOC
Aviation for the placement of eight Boeing 737-8 aircraft.

The eight aircraft are scheduled for delivery in
2024 and will undergo required modifications before entering
service in 2025.

“We are pleased that Canada’s flag carrier, Air
Canada, is working with us once again as it strengthens its
network,” said Steven Townend, Chief Executive Officer and
Managing Director of BOC Aviation. “Continued growth in passenger
travel is stimulating demand for aircraft, which we have been able
to address for Air Canada in this transaction with eight aircraft
delivering from our 100 per cent latest technology orderbook.”

The aircraft will initially operate with a single
Economy class layout until they are reconfigured to fully match
Air Canada’s narrow-body, two-cabin standard onboard experience.

All eight aircraft will be powered by CFM LEAP-1B
engines.

“We look forward to these aircraft entering into
service next year, upon the completion of some required
modifications,” said Michael Rousseau, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Air Canada. “These eight, brand-new, fuel and
cost-efficient 737-8s will provide more fleet flexibility and
additional capacity while supporting one of our sustainability
goals of mitigating emissions.”
