Air Canada fleet

Current fleet

Historical fleet

• Air Canada's Douglas DC-8-63 fleet was withdrawn from passenger service in 1983. Six of these were converted to DC-8-73 with new CFM engines, converted to freighters in 1984, and retained for use by Air Canada Cargo, eventually being sold off to DHL between 1990 and 1994.
• Air Canada's Douglas DC-9-15s were used up to 1968. One DC-9-32CF was used for cargo flights until 1977. The McDonnell Douglas DC-9-32s were used from 1967 to 2002.
• Air Canada's Canadair CRJ-100 aircraft were used from the mid-1990s until the early 2000s when they were transferred to regional affiliate Jazz Air LP operating as Air Canada Jazz.
• Air Canada's Airbus A340-500s were retired in November 2007 and replaced by Boeing 777-200LRs.
• Air Canada's Airbus A340-300s were retired in November 2008 and replaced by Boeing 777-300ERs.
• Air Canada's Boeing 767-200ERs were retired at the end of 2008 and replaced by Airbus A330-300s.
• The McDonnell Douglas DC-10-30 aircraft were operated from 1979 to 2000 by Canadian Pacific Air Lines and its successors Canadian Airlines International.
• The Boeing 737-200 aircraft were operated from 1968 to 2000 by Canadian Pacific Air Lines and its successors Canadian Airlines International. After the merger with Canadian Airlines International, Air Canada operated these aircraft in a mainline two-class configuration, as well as in an all-economy class configuration with the Air Canada Tango and the Zip low-cost carrier brands.
• In 2020, Air Canada retired their entire Boeing 767-300ER and Embraer E190 fleets. The Embraer E190 was replaced by the Airbus A220-300, while the Boeing 767-300ER was replaced by Boeing 787. As of December 2021, certain previously retired Boeing 767-300ER aircraft are being converted and reintroduced into the fleet as Boeing 767-300ER/BDSF cargo aircraft. As of August 2024, Air Canada plans to reintroduce the Boeing 767-300ER type to its fleet sometime in 2025.
• Air Canada additionally planned to completely retire its Airbus A319 fleet in May 2020, replacing them with further Airbus A220-300s. The mainline A319s were tentatively retired later than previously planned on February 7, 2021, with the final mainline A319 operating a flight from Calgary to Phoenix; however, Air Canada continued to operate A319s as part of its charter fleet under Air Canada Jetz. Subsequently, the mainline A319 service resumed in March 2022 until its retirement on September 7, 2025.
