Air Canada announced today the beginning of a major upgrade program for its regional fleet, providing customers a heightened level of comfort and convenience.
Under the initiative, 25 De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft operated for Air Canada Express by Jazz Aviation LP (Jazz) will undergo a full cabin redesign to install new seating, new interiors and, on select aircraft initially, flying from Billy Bishop Toronto City Airport, onboard Fast, Free Wi-Fi in an industry first for this aircraft type.
Mark Nasr, Executive Vice President & Chief Operations Officer at Air Canada said: “Air Canada Express is at the heart of how we serve Canadian communities.
“It brings people together, whether connecting families across the country, or linking businesses to the world through our global network.
“This innovative project is an industry-first, and it reflects the pride we take in serving customers with care and class.
“By bringing many of the design details and comforts of our largest jets to the Canadian-made Dash 8-400, even our shortest flights can feel special.”
Doug Clarke, President of Jazz said: “We’re pleased to partner with Air Canada on these exciting upgrades to our Dash 8-400 fleet.
“This investment in innovative seating, refreshed cabin interiors, and industry-leading onboard Wi-Fi reflects our shared commitment to safety, operational excellence, and delivering exceptional customer service.”
