(1) In 2015, Air Canada plans to replace 20 EMBRAER 190 aircraft with 10 larger narrow-body leased aircraft. As of the date of this MD&A, the type of replacement aircraft has
not yet been determined however, solely for illustrative purposes, in the table above, Air Canada has assumed these to be five Airbus A320 and five Airbus A321 aircraft.
Air Canada has an agreement with Boeing to take delivery of 37 Boeing 787 aircraft, the first six of which are scheduled for
2014 and the remaining 31 between 2015 and 2019. The firm order is comprised of 15 787-8 and 22 787-9 aircraft. The 15
787-8 aircraft are scheduled for delivery starting in the spring of 2014 while the 22 larger-capacity 787-9 aircraft are
scheduled for delivery starting in July 2015.
In December 2013, Air Canada announced that it had selected the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft as its new replacement narrow-
body aircraft. The renewal of its narrow-body fleet with more fuel efficient aircraft is a key element of the airline’s on-going
cost transformation program. Air Canada continues to evaluate the potential replacement of its EMBRAER 190 fleet with more
cost efficient, larger narrow-body aircraft that are better suited to its current and future network strategy. As part of the
Boeing 737 MAX order, Boeing will be purchasing 20 of the 45 EMBRAER 190 aircraft currently in the airline’s fleet. The
EMBRAER 190 aircraft exiting the fleet will initially be replaced with larger leased narrow-body aircraft until the airline takes
delivery of the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft. In the first half of 2014, Air Canada will be reviewing various options regarding its
remaining 25 EMBRAER 190 aircraft, including whether to continue to operate them or to replace them with an as of yet
undetermined number of larger aircraft in the 100 to 150 seat range.
Refer to section 9.6 of this MD&A for information on Air Canada’s aircraft purchase commitments.
