In 2014, Air Canada exercised purchase rights for two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, with scheduled deliveries
in the second quarter of 2016. The configuration of these aircraft will be high-density in a three-cabin
configuration, including a premium economy cabin and an International Business Class cabin that will offer
Air Canada’s new international product standard as introduced on the airline’s Boeing 787 aircraft. Air Canada
also announced that it plans on harmonizing the interior of its existing five higher-density Boeing 777-300
aircraft to Boeing 787 standards.
On March 31, 2014, Air Canada concluded an agreement with Boeing for the purchase of Boeing 737 MAX
aircraft to replace the airline’s narrow-body aircraft. Refer to section 9.6 “Capital Expenditures and Related
Financing Arrangements” of this MD&A for additional information. The renewal of its narrow-body fleet with
more fuel-efficient aircraft is a key element of Air Canada’s ongoing cost transformation program.
