Air Canada on Tuesday unveiled the new interiors and business-class seats coming to two of its jets. This is a major upgrade that the airline described as “the first major expression” of its “Glowing Hearted” design standard and customer service approach.<\/p>\n

The new business-class cabin, which the airline is calling “Air Canada Signature Class,” will debut on its Airbus A321XLR this summer \u2014 marking the first time Air Canada will offer lie-flat seats on a single-aisle jet. It will later appear on the airline’s new fleet of Boeing 787-10 jets.<\/p>\n

On both jets across all classes, passengers can expect to find larger overhead compartments; ergonomic seats with phone or tablet holders; new, larger OLED 4K inflight entertainment screens with Bluetooth audio; and USB-C and AC power outlets at each seat.<\/p>\n

The A321XLR will feature 14 business-class seats in a 1-1 herringbone configuration, along with 168 economy seats (36 of which offer extra legroom). Travelers will find these cabins on certain transatlantic and transcontinental routes.<\/p>\n

While the business-class seats will not have fully closing doors, Air Canada said they will feature “a sliding privacy panel” that passengers can close to block out more of the cabin.<\/p>\n

Air Canada has 30 of the jets on order from Airbus.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, the 787-10 will have 42 Signature Class seats in a 1-2-1, reverse-herringbone layout. It will also feature 28 premium economy seats and 262 economy seats, including some with extra legroom. (Air Canada did not specify the number of extra-legroom seats.)<\/p>\n

The first row of business-class seats, dubbed “Signature Class Plus,” will offer more spacious suites.<\/p>\n

This includes a center divider between the middle seats that passengers can fully lower to create more open space when traveling with a companion.<\/p>\n

Premium economy will also see a slight redesign with “privacy wings” that appear similar to those on newer domestic first-class seats offered by Delta Air Lines and United Airlines.<\/p>\n

Air Canada is scheduled to take delivery of 14 of the largest variant of the 787, which it plans to position as its new flagship.<\/p>\n

The design of both cabins speaks to a peaceful and relaxing vibe, with gray tones accented by Air Canada’s signature red, along with natural wood grain and bronze metal details.<\/p>\n

\n

Air Canada also said it plans to overhaul its soft product, including upgraded service, food and drink, and amenities. The end result will be a “distinctly Canadian” hospitality experience. The airline said it will unveil details on the upgraded service later this year.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"<\/div>

“This investment is about fundamentally redefining the experience of flying with Air Canada,” the airline’s executive vice president and chief operations officer Mark Nasr said in a statement about the redesign.<\/p>\n

“Details matter: we listened closely to feedback and challenged ourselves to create an experience defined by a strong Canadian sense of place, alongside a commitment to craftsmanship, functionality, and long-term durability,” he added.<\/p>\n
