Air Canada’s new business suites

Air Canada on April 14 unveiled new long-haul cabins for its incoming Airbus A321 extra-long range and Boeing 787-10 fleets, led by two new business-class seat products. (aircanada.com) The airline said the redesign is its biggest cabin investment and will debut first this summer on the Airbus A321 extra-long range, with the Boeing 787-10 version arriving when that aircraft enters service. (aircanada.com) On the Airbus A321 extra-long range, Air Canada will install 14 lie-flat Signature Class seats in a 182-seat cabin, making it the first single-aisle aircraft in Canada with lie-flat business seats, the carrier said. (aircanada.com) On the Boeing 787-10, Air Canada plans 332 seats: 42 in business class, 28 in premium economy and 262 in economy, according to One Mile at a Time’s review of the airline’s specifications. (onemileatatime.com) Four of those 42 Boeing 787-10 business seats will be a new front-row product called Air Canada Signature Plus Suites, with extra space and privacy for passengers traveling together. (aircanada.com) The Airbus A321 extra-long range is the network play here. Air Canada said in September 2025 that the jet would open Montreal–Palma de Mallorca in June 2026 and also operate Montreal–Toulouse and Montreal–Edinburgh. (aircanada.com) Air Canada also said the Airbus A321 extra-long range will be used on domestic and North America routes, including transcontinental flying, where the airline expects to offer lie-flat seats on a narrow-body jet between cities such as Toronto, Montreal and the West Coast. (aircanada.com) The cabin refresh is not limited to the front of the plane. Air Canada said all cabins will get larger 4K organic light-emitting diode screens, Bluetooth audio, universal serial bus type-C and alternating-current power, while premium economy adds extended privacy wings. (aircanada.com) The timing lines up with fleet growth. One Mile at a Time reported Air Canada has 30 Airbus A321 extra-long range aircraft and 18 Boeing 787-10s on order, while the airline’s current fleet page shows 40 Boeing 787s already in service across the 787-8 and 787-9 variants. (onemileatatime.com) (aircanada.com) For travelers, the immediate change is that Air Canada’s next aircraft deliveries will not just add seats; they will split the airline’s premium strategy in two, with lie-flat suites on smaller Airbus A321 extra-long range jets this summer and a higher-end Boeing 787-10 cabin after that.
