Air Canada Cancels Orders for A220s, 737 Max 8s

Air Canada has cancelled orders for 12 Airbus A220s and 10 Boeing 737 Max 8s, or about 40 per cent of its remaining deliveries, as part of a series of moves meant to mitigate Covid-19-related financial strain, the airline said.

Along with the cancellations, the airline said it will defer deliveries of Airbus and Boeing narrowbodies and accelerate the retirement of 79 aircraft flying for the mainline and LCC Air Canada Rouge.
