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 2007 of the first of eight new 777 aircraft to be delivered in 2007, it will immediate place these aircrafts on select Air Canada services: Toronto-London Heathrow (beginning in April), Toronto-Frankfurt and Toronto-Tokyo (beginning in June), Vancouver-Tokyo (beginning in July) and Toronto-Hong Kong (beginning in August).

In addition, effective December 14, 2007, Air Canada will introduce daily non-stop service between Vancouver and Sydney, Australia using its new 777 aircraft.

“The introduction of 777 service featuring Air Canada’s new in-flight product on these key European, Asian and South Pacific routes places Air Canada on the forefront of North American carriers offering the highest quality of long haul service and amenities,” said Sean Menke, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. “With the arrival of the 777, we are thrilled to introduce the only daily, non-stop service between Canada and Australia, our seventh non-stop destination in the Asia-Pacific region.”

“We are equally proud to be the only North American carrier to offer customers the comfort and privacy of first class lie-flat beds, at a business class price. The deployment of these highly fuel efficient and customer-friendly 777 aircraft on select Air Canada services to London, Frankfurt, Tokyo, Hong Kong and Sydney raises the bar in comfort and convenience in air travel while leveraging Air Canada’s extensive international and North America route networks via our Toronto and Vancouver hubs.”

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.
