Air Canada unveils Dreamliner cabins
Air Canada is showcasing its brand new international cabin design and seating on its Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet.
The airline will take delivery of the first of 37 Dreamliners in the spring of 2014 and hopes the new aircraft will help establish its Toronto base as a "truly global airline hub".
"The fuel efficient Boeing 787 aircraft will open up opportunities for Air Canada to serve new international destinations, and convert existing routes to Dreamliner service, as we continue to renew our fleet and develop Toronto Pearson into a preferred North American gateway and truly global airline hub," said executive VP and COO Ben Smith.
Air Canada will provide three cabins of service on board its Dreamliners highlighted by a new contemporary decor and more comfortable ergonomic seating that features 180-degree lie-flat seats in its International Business Class cabin.
It is also promising an extensive choice of in-flight entertainment on enhanced definition seat back touch screens will be available for all customers along with power outlets and USB ports.
Beginning in July 2014, the first Air Canada route to be operated with 787 Dreamliner aircraft featuring the new cabin interior and amenities will be the carrier’s Toronto-Tel Aviv route.
Seats are now available for booking.
As the first three 787 aircraft are gradually introduced into the Air Canada fleet in the spring of 2014, the airline will offer a preview of its new Dreamliner service on select domestic Canada and transatlantic flights on a temporary basis.
