Overview
- Airbus confirmed the deal and said it had been recorded as an undisclosed order since November 2025.
- The new widebodies are slated to replace or augment older 777 and A330 jets and enable nonstop reach to the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and Australia.
- Air Canada cites roughly 9,000 nautical miles of range and about 25% lower fuel burn versus previous‑generation competitors.
- The airline did not disclose pricing, and it plans to unveil a new interior layout for the type later this year.
- The move fits into a broader renewal that includes incoming Boeing 787‑10s, Airbus A321XLRs and continued A220 deliveries.
