Quoting Beech19 (Reply 3): I beleive the Boeing fireing order shows the 772LR's coming down the chute before their 300ER's. Janurary 07 i beleive
News to me. Last I heard was that the B773 were to be delivered late-March to early-April 2007, with the LRs coming in August.
From AirCanada.com Delivery of the 777 aircraft is scheduled to commence in March 2007. and Air Canada will take delivery of the leased aircraft in May 2007
Also from Air Canada, the press release states: Delivery of the first six 777 aircraft is scheduled commencing in March through to July 2007. Air Canada's first 787 is scheduled for delivery in 2010.
A.net user Sebring might be able to provide greater insight.

Next summer, I'm gonna do YUL-YYZ-NRT or YUL-YVR-NRT with AC and TG for NRT-BKK. Do you think I'm gonna have the chance to take a new 777 of AC or I'm gonna take a old 343 or 345?

Quoting Beech19 (Reply 5): I was hoping that 777MechSys would chime in... he has access to that information.
Sorry busy busy busy. We are working 20% overtime.
Ummm Air Canada 777 200LR. I think the first one should roll out of the factory around May 2007.
I think Emirates will see theirs in.... crap I can't remember.

What a waste of money those A330 and 340s must be. I love them and all, but especially the 340-500s, they've only been a part of the fleet for two years now, just to get replaced here shortly with Boeings. Why didn't Air Canada just order 777s to begin with then?

Quoting Sebring (Reply 7): For 2008, however, the IPO calls for 6 773ER and 3 772LR in 2008
For 2009, you have the two freighters.
So, as things stand, AC is getting 11 773ERs and 6 777-200LRs.
That's a pretty big change since the B773ERs were originally meant to replace the B744Ms. On Boeing's site, AC orders still show up as 5 B773ERs + 1 ILFC and 11 B772LR.
Does AC really need 11 -300ERs?
maybe you mixed up the variants by mistake?

I have also taken a look at the AC prospectus for its upcoming IPO, and Sebring is right. The only question is whether the prospectus is wrong (which is unlikely).

Might I direct you to this quote from a respect a.net user and AC insider:
Quoting Sebring (Reply 7): It is also keeping the two A340-500s, which is a departure from previous iterations of the fleet plan.

Kris YYZ,
Air Canada needs all the 773ER it can get. From Toronto alone they fly to very distant cities on 3 continents. Frequency to LHR is 4 or 5 daily, then you have the rest of Europe,ezpecialy the FRA hub served from many Canadian cities. To South America there is daily servcie to GRU and EZE or SCL. Fro YYZ, not YVR, AC flies nonstop to HKG, NRT, Shanghai and Peking. Then you have all the Pacific cities from Vancouver, all the Montreal European flights and service to LHR(daily) from each main candian cities from Vancouver to St. Johns, including Ottawa. So AC needs all the 777 it ahs ordered.

It seems so strange to me that they only ordered 2 A345s, and just for one route, and then they replace them with 772LRs on the route. If they are keeping them, to what destinations will they go? It also seems strange to me that they are using 773ERs to replace A333s which has much less range and capacity.

The 777s aren't being used to replace the A333s. According to the fleet plan these are staying for the timebeing. The 777s are being used to supplement capacity lost with the retirement of the B744s as well as to replace the A343s. The A345s are also staying for the moment according to the most recent fleet plan.
So from that point, AC couldn't order more and I don't think A would produce anymore for them. Now after AC has experienced the poor perfomance of the aircraft and they are making some money... they are going to go with the Boeing product to satisfy their needs...
Hope that helps,
G
