The following table provides the planned number of aircraft, as at December 31, 2013, which will be operated by Jazz and by
other airlines operating flights on behalf of Air Canada under the Air Canada Express banner pursuant to capacity purchase

Planned

The table above also reflects the transfer of 15 Embraer aircraft from the mainline fleet to Sky Regional which is expected to
be made in 2013.
On July 12, 2012, Chorus Aviation Inc. (“Chorus”) announced that it had exercised six of 15 options it held to acquire
additional Dash 8-400 (“Q400”) aircraft to be operated by its subsidiary, Jazz, under the Air Canada Express banner. Chorus
announced that the six optioned 74-seat Q400 aircraft are contracted to be delivered at a rate of two per month in February,
March and April 2013, and will be placed in operation the subsequent month. At that time, Chorus also announced that a total
of nine 50-seat CRJ-100 aircraft would be removed from the Jazz fleet, one of which was removed in December 2012 with the
remaining eight planned for removal by May 2013. As a result, as of May 2013, the number of covered aircraft under the Jazz
CPA will be reduced to 122 aircraft, with the overall seating capacity, operated under the Jazz CPA, being held relatively
constant.
In October 2012, Air Canada announced it was increasing capacity on regional routes across Western Canada in the fall and
winter to meet demand and that it would gradually be introducing Q400 aircraft operated by Jazz under the Air Canada
Express banner on key markets beginning in 2013. In early February 2013, the airline announced that Q400 service had begun
between Calgary and Fort McMurray, Calgary and Regina and between Calgary and Saskatoon. Air Canada also announced it
would continue to roll out Q400 aircraft on additional routes to British Columbia, Alberta and the Northwest Territories in the
coming months and, in response to strong demand, it was also increasing capacity on key regional routes in Western Canada
in the spring and summer of 2013 either through the use of larger aircraft or with additional frequencies.
