Air Canada making it new

Air Canada is introducing a new International Premium Economy cabin for its passengers looking for more comfort and service on its international flights and it’s all part of the carrier’s continuing modernization of its wide-body fleet that sees the addition of five new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. Complementing its Economy and Executive First options on international flights, AC’s new Premium Economy cabin will offer customers a wide range of benefits including a dedicated cabin featuring larger seats that are wider, providing more recline, with seven more inches of legroom than Economy and are never more than one seat from the aisle (due to a 2-4-2 configuration). Customers will also be offered premium meals with complimentary bar service and priority check-in and baggage delivery at the airport. More information on Air Canada’s new Premium Economy cabin is available at http://www.aircanada.com/premiumeconomy . The new cabin will be introduced on Air Canada’s Montreal-Paris flights effective July 11, 2013. Additional routes offering Premium Economy will be added over time as new aircraft enter the carrier’s mainline fleet. In addition to two Boeing 777-300ER aircraft previously announced that will be delivered in June and August 2013, Air Canada will also add three new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft to be delivered in November and December 2013 and February 2014. With the addition of these five aircraft, Air Canada’s Boeing 777 fleet will consist of 23 aircraft comprising the latest generation of 300ER and 200LR models.
