Air Canada has announced lie-flat seats will soon be coming to smaller aircrafts for the first time in Canada.
The Canadian airline has acquired 30 of its first Airbus A321XLR, a single-aisle aircraft that will come with 14 lie-flat seats capable of reclining 180 degrees to a fully horizontal bed. The seats will be in signature class, the airline said in a press release.
These new aircrafts will also be capable of flying longer routes, and will make its debut over the coming years, the announcement says.
“Equipped with a quieter, more comfortable cabin when compared to previous generation aircraft, this game-changing aircraft will shortly be deployed across the Atlantic from Montreal and Toronto, while also becoming a staple on key North American transcontinental markets,” Mark Galardo, executive vice-president and chief commercial officer and president of cargo at Air Canada said.
This announcement follows some other airlines, such as WestJet and Air New Zealand, which have also announced certain changes to their aircraft cabins.
