On October 1, 2012 Air Canada announced the planned addition of two new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, scheduled to be
delivered in June and August 2013, respectively, in order to pursue strategic growth opportunities for its international network.
Air Canada also plans on operating three additional Boeing 777 aircraft for which it has outstanding firm commitments. These
three aircraft are scheduled to be delivered in November and December 2013 and February 2014, respectively.
In late 2012, Air Canada unveiled plans for a new leisure airline operating under the brand name Air Canada rougeTM. The Air
Canada rougeTM fleet will initially be comprised of two Boeing 767-300ER aircraft to operate transatlantic flights in a two-
cabin configuration offering a selection of “rougeTM Plus” seats with additional legroom and “Premium rougeTM” seats featuring
additional seating comfort, space and enhanced meal and beverage service; and two Airbus A319 aircraft to operate North
American flights in an all-economy configuration offering a selection of “rouge PlusTM” seats with additional legroom. Prior to
the end of 2013, Air Canada plans to transfer an additional six Airbus A319 aircraft, for a total of eight Airbus A319 aircraft,
from its mainline fleet to Air Canada rougeTM. Air Canada rougeTM will expand to other leisure destinations as Air Canada starts
to take delivery of new Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft, which is scheduled to commence in 2014, thereby freeing up aircraft
for transfer to the Air Canada rougeTM fleet. As this occurs, and also subject to commercial demand and other factors, Air
Canada rougeTM may operate up to 20 Boeing 767-300ER aircraft and 30 Airbus A319 aircraft, for a total of 50 aircraft, to
pursue opportunities in markets made viable by the lower operating cost structure of Air Canada rougeTM.
Air Canada also announced that it plans to the transfer 15 of its Embraer 175 aircraft from its mainline fleet to Sky Regional,
subject to certain conditions including the conclusion of an amended capacity purchase agreement with Sky Regional who will
operate these aircraft on behalf of Air Canada. The transfer of these 15 regional aircraft is expected to be made in 2013. The
table above reflects the removal of these aircraft from the mainline fleet.
