Air Canada Premium Economy

Clearly more to European standards than its competing US North American airlines, Air Canada is to introduce a fully fledged International Premium Economy Cabin.

Complementing its Economy and Executive First options on long haul, the airline’s new Premium Economy Class 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 (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.
 
Air Canada’s Premium Economy cabin will be first introduced on Montreal – Paris flights effective 11 July.  Additional routes offering Premium Economy will be added over time as new aircraft enter the carrier’s mainline fleet.
 
“With the introduction of Premium Economy, Air Canada will begin offering customers a new, high-value option for enhanced comfort and service on international flights”, said Ben Smith, Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer.  “The delivery of five new Boeing 777-300ER aircraft over the next 12 months provides us with the right opportunity to launch a new cabin of service that will be offered on more of our international flights over time”. www.aircanada.com/premiumeconomy
