en.Wedoany.com Reported - Air Canada plans to operate the Airbus A321XLR on the Montreal to Los Angeles route starting this October, with flights from Toronto to Los Angeles and Montreal to Miami launching in December. The airline has ordered up to 30 of these aircraft, several of which have already been delivered, and will first deploy them on European routes this summer.

Air Canada's A321XLR will operate a total of 19 weekly flights to Los Angeles. Flights from Montreal will operate up to 12 times weekly starting October 25, while the Toronto to Los Angeles route will operate daily beginning December 15. These services will complement the airline's existing Los Angeles route network, which includes multiple daily departures from Toronto and services via Vancouver. The only other airline operating year-round between these two cities is Porter Airlines, which flies the Embraer E195-E2. Air Canada's A321XLR is configured with 14 lie-flat business class seats and 168 economy class seats.

Flights from Montreal to Miami are scheduled to operate on December 18 and 25, supplementing existing Montreal-Miami services operated by Air Canada's mainline fleet and its leisure-focused subsidiary, Air Canada rouge. Other carriers currently operating this route include American Airlines, as well as seasonal flights by Porter Airlines.

The A321XLR is the first narrowbody aircraft in Air Canada's fleet to offer a signature lie-flat business class experience, featuring seats with retractable dividers, informative flight information screens, retractable 19-inch entertainment screens with Bluetooth connectivity, USB-C and AC power outlets, and wireless charging pads. The economy class seats feature a new design with 13-inch entertainment screens with Bluetooth connectivity, multifunctional tray tables, and additional storage space.

This summer, Air Canada will also operate the A321XLR on routes to Toulouse-Blagnac Airport (TLS), Berlin Brandenburg Airport (BER), and Nantes. The deployment of this aircraft on several of the most popular cross-border routes reflects positive demand signals in the U.S. market, offering passengers a more comfortable product compared to the existing A320 family aircraft.
