Air Canada has finalised an agreement with BOC Aviation for the lease of eight Boeing 737-8 aircraft. Scheduled for delivery in 2024, the eight aircraft will undergo required modifications before entering service in 2025. All eight aircraft will be powered by CFM LEAP-1B engines. ""We look forward to these aircraft entering into service next year, upon the completion of some required modifications,” said Michael Rousseau, president and chief executive officer of Air Canada. “These eight, brand-new, fuel- and cost-efficient 737-8s will provide more fleet flexibility and additional capacity while supporting one of our sustainability goals of mitigating emissions.” ""We are pleased that Canada's flag carrier, Air Canada, is working with us once again as it strengthens its network,"" said Steven Townend, chief executive officer and managing director of BOC Aviation. ""Continued growth in passenger travel is stimulating demand for aircraft, which we have been able to address for Air Canada in this transaction with eight aircraft delivering from our 100 per cent latest technology orderbook.""
