Air Canada takes delivery of it's first 737 MAX 8

Air Canada has taken delivery of it's first Boeing 737 MAX 8, commencing a roll over of it's A320 fleet. The aircraft will be utilized on the airline's domestic and transcontinental routes, as well as select transatlantic routes. The 737 has featured in Air Canada's fleet before when it inherited 38 737-200s from it's April 2001 merger (acquisition) of Canadian Airlines International. Most were intended to be operated until at least scheduled lease return dates from 2003; however 9/11 dictated the early retirement of the fleet in late 2001, albeit 20 went on to serve Air Canada's low cost ZIP subsidiary between 2002 and 2004.
