Air Canada’s fleet of A321s and A320s will feature a new cabin interior, new technologies and services such as Bluetooth audio and free high-speed internet.
 
The new IFE system being installed on the Airbus A321 and A320 fleets will feature Air Canada's award-winning in-flight entertainment via screens at each seat, offering the most extensive content overall of any airline in the Americas. 
 
The airline's remaining 14 A321s and its eight A320s will be retrofitted starting this fall through to the end of 2025.  With these upgrades, customers will benefit from an elevated narrow-body cabin experience in line with the cabins of the A220 and B737 MAX aircraft that comprise the majority of Air Canada's narrow-body fleet.  
 
The new cabin also reduces the overall weight of the A321 by approximately 240 kilos, which will reduce fuel consumption for the entire fleet by more than 2.4 million litres
 
These upgraded fleet interiors will align the A320s and A321s to the highly-popular A220 experience, “further strengthening our industry leading product offering," said Mark Nasr, executive vice president, loyalty and product at Air Canada. 
 
"Additionally, new features such as our inflight entertainment system streaming exterior aircraft camera feeds, Bluetooth connectivity, and free, fast internet connectivity will be extremely popular with travellers.”
