The newest aircrafts in Air Canada will soon have a completely new appearance on board.
The Montreal headquarters announced plans on Tuesday to launch a completely new cabin appearance next year, with a new humor lighting, extra -large extravagant containers and a general “atmosphere” in general.
The new design will debut in its Airbus A220 aircraft, said Canadian aircraft carrier at a press conference organized by Airbus in Hamburg, Germany.
Passengers will begin to see the new interiors in 2026.
It will not be just a milestone for Air Canada: the update of the cabin will mark the debut of the “Airspace” cabin of Airbus in the A220.

Known for its elaborate lighting panels, air and spacious cabin designs, and a series of updated and more practical features, the air space cabin already flies in a wide range of airlines in other types of plans. But this will be the first time that the design of the airspace of the glider reaches the A220, a plane that First he entered the Air Canada fleet A little over five years ago, at the end of 2019.
Larger higher containers
For Air Canada passengers, the most tangible update will be the largest upper containers.
They will be 20% larger, said the carrier, sufficient space for up to 19 additional bags. That is not a small feat on a plane that sits up to 137 passengers.

These containers should also be easier to close, get hooked at the bottom and depend, as I saw when touring a Airbus design model on Tuesday at Aircraft Interiors Expo, an important industry convention in Hamburg.
These containers should be easier and faster so that passengers (not to mention the hostesses) close as the precious seconds move away before the game.
In addition, the updated A220 will help mark two improvements Air Canada announced previously: Fast and free Wi-Fi for Aeropan members and new 4K Spiffy backup screens made by Panasonic, which I took (below) last year.

A general update: for the A220 and beyond
But renewed aesthetics should also be a good improvement. Air France calls it the “bright heart” design.
“The cabin is much warmer than it has been in the past, and that is on purpose,” said John Moody, managing director of products on board, at a press conference on Tuesday. “What we want to offer is that type of warm, affectionate warm personality, for which Canadians are known.”

Wait that this warmth also appears in something more than the A220. The Air Canada design presented with the French planner on Tuesday should “start flowing” in other types of Air Canada aircraft, Moody said.
While I could not say with certainty, we should take into account, because it did, that the airline has dozens of Airbus A321xlr of long -range in order. This new variant of airplanes has inspired a wide range of carriers, from American Airlines to Iberia, to launch new styles and types of premium seats.

“Think about that like a deep mockery,” Moody said about Air Canada’s plans. “We have the XLRs that come. We have other types of airplanes that will present new products, stay attentive.”
End
Air Canada currently has 35 A220 in its fleet, which fly in a wide range of routes in North America. The new airspace cabin will debut with the arrival of its 43rd A220, said the airline. It is currently scheduled for delivery in March 2026.
The airline does not plan, from now on, to modernize its existing A220 with the new product.
The Air Canada A220 have 12 premium reclinators in their executive class in North America. It has 125 seats in the main cabin arranged in the configuration of 2 by 3 of the signature of the A220.
