With more AC 767-200s being replaced by 763s and A321s on more routes I was wondering what routes that they are currently being used. I know that YVR-YYZ still has 5 767-200 flights per day, but there must be a few more 762 routes....
The engine is the heart of an airplane, but the pilot is its soul.

Oh forgot one, usually YYZ-Barbados is operated by a 762

AC uses their 762's as kind of relievers for flights where there's more than one full flight, but not enough a/c.
Example:
Last week I flew YYZ-LGA, and AC used a 762 to cater to three flights (i.e. cancelled three and put them all on this one flight) due to cancellations and lack of a/c available.
Cheers,

Quoting YULYMX (Reply 14): Last I heard he was still in service
Yesterday, someone asked me where the Star Alliance 762 - C-GAUB, had gone. I told him that I thought it had been retired some time ago, and possible even scrapped. Was I right?

Not sure, but AC does have plans to replace all of their 762s and 763s as they get 777 and 787 additions over the next few years. At least their 762s are the ER version unlike what DL had (retired by years end 2005).

I am pretty sure that it was retired last year. Not sure if it was scapped or just parked in the desert. The Gimli Glider, fin 604 , is still a regular at YYZ

Quoting YOW (Reply 18): There are still at least a couple of non-ER 762s flying for AC. Fins 604 & 672 are definitely non-ER models.
Start looking for those two first at Victorville or Pinal later this year then.

Quoting Yyztpa (Reply 21): Seeing as how 604 (The Gimli Glider) is the last non-ER 767-233, could it be possible they may have something special in mind for her retirement?
Look what DL did for "The Spirit of Delta" The 767 has been a workhorse for AC for quite a number of years. After looking at AirBus during the 1990s, I think AC was wise to go back to Boeing wide-bodies for their next procurement.

25 Boeingfanyyz: Although they did use it the 762's for a while for that route, it's mostly been replaced by the 763ER these days, even if it is scheduled to be a 762
26 FLYACYYZ: Planned for year round service as reflected in AC's CRS system--but always subject to change. Also see periodic aircraft substitutions on the morning
27 EddieDude: Thanks for the reply FLYACYYZ. What would those substitutions be? A320's or 767's?
28 FLYACYYZ: AC is notorious for matching aircraft to demand resulting in system-wide (unless capacity controlled) equipment changes. I was on what I believe to b
29 EddieDude: Wow, an A321. That was a weird choice giving MEX' altitude problems. I wonder where they stopped to refuel on the way back from MEX to YYZ... I mean,
30 AC7E7: I doubt it. As much as we aviation fans love to talk about FIN 604, it was not exactly a high point in AC history. In fact, it was pure stupidity tha
