Hey everyone, just read that Air Canada's planning some crazy long-haul routes for 2026, with flights lasting up to 17 hours! They're already a pretty big player in long-haul flights, ranking 11th globally. In Canada, they're doing even better, covering 36% of the long-haul market. Makes sense they're huge in Montreal and Toronto, with 45% and 39% of the market respectively. Vancouver's a bit less at 33%, but still pretty solid.
Honestly, I'm wondering where these ultra-long routes are gonna fly to. Asia maybe? Or more to Europe? I imagine flights like these would need some serious passenger comforts and efficient planes. Anyone know what aircraft they're planning to use for these routes?
I think this move could really shake things up, especially if they can keep it comfortable for passengers. 17 hours is a long time to be up in the air! Do you guys think ultra-long flights are the future? Or is it just a niche thing for now? Let me know what you think!
