Super 80 Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 I was booking a flight this morning from Ottawa to Toronto (AC449) for the end of September and I was suprised to see a 737 on my itinerary for a mainline Air Canada flight. The only mainline Air Canada 737's I have seen recently are in Vancouver and missing engines. So what is the 737 situation at Air Canada? How many are being flown by Zip and Tango and how many continue to be flown by Air Canada mainline and charter? And how quickly will they be phased out from each respective wing? According to 2002 annual report, On December 31st Air Canada owned 1 and leased 24 opperational 737's plus 11 unflyable or otherwise out of service 737's I know some Zip 737's have been returned to their owners since then. Anyone care to fill in the blanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest frozinorth Posted August 18, 2003 Share Posted August 18, 2003 At Transport Canada's site ( http://www.tc.gc.ca/aviation/activepages/ccarcs/en/default_e.asp?x_lang=e )it shows ZIP as having 13, and AC having 17. Doesn't say what state of repair they're in, only that they are registered to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest alldatjazz Posted August 21, 2003 Share Posted August 21, 2003 Hot Rumour that AC has extended the leases on ten 737s despite claiming to park them later this year. Reliable source! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
