Air Canada takes delivery of first Airbus A321XLR on SMBC Aviation Capital lease; 30-strong fleet ramp begins
Air Canada has taken delivery of its first Airbus A321XLR in Hamburg, Germany—the launch operator in Canada for the type. The aircraft is leased from SMBC Aviation Capital and launches a fleet renewal step designed to bridge short-haul narrowbody flying and long-haul widebody capacity gaps, with 30 deliveries expected over the next three years.
