Low-Cost Carrier Upgrades Fleet With Enhanced Passenger Experience

Air Canada has begun transferring its Boeing 737 MAX 8 jets to its subsidiary low-cost carrier Air Canada Rouge, as part of a major fleet shakeup. The first of 45 upgraded aircraft has entered service, featuring personal seatback entertainment, reclining seats, and free Wi-Fi. Air Canada Rouge will eventually operate only MAX jets, while the Airbus A320 and A321 aircraft currently in its fleet will be retrofitted to Air Canada’s latest design standard. The move is part of Air Canada’s efforts to deliver a more comfortable and connected onboard experience, as reported by AeroTime.
