MONTREAL-<\/strong> Air Canada (AC)<\/a> has revealed its largest cabin investment to date at the Aircraft Interiors Expo in Hamburg (HAM), Germany.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airline introduced new long-haul cabin designs under its “Glowing Hearted” brand standard, featuring lie-flat seats on the Airbus A321XLR and an exclusive Signature Plus Suite on the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The redesigned cabins will debut this summer on the A321XLR<\/a>, marking the first time Air Canada (AC) offers a true lie-flat experience on a single-aisle aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new interiors aim to position the carrier as a leading global airline under its New Frontiers growth strategy, with upgraded screens, power access, and premium products across all cabin classes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Air Canada A321XLR and 787 Cabin Overhaul<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Air Canada’s new cabin design targets every seat on the aircraft. All passengers will receive ergonomic seats with built-in tablet holders, larger overhead bins, 4K OLED entertainment screens, and Bluetooth audio connectivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

USB-C and AC power outlets are available at every seat. Premium Economy cabins add extended privacy wings for additional comfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The redesign is headlined by two premium products tied to specific aircraft types.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Airbus A321XLR, the airline will install 14 lie-flat Signature Class seats, a first for any Air Canada narrowbody. The IFE screens measure 13 inches in Economy and 19 inches in premium cabins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the Boeing 787-10<\/a>, Air Canada introduces the Signature Plus Suite, positioned at the front of the aircraft. Each of the four suites includes a 2-metre (6’5″) bed, a quartzite-topped table, and a dedicated guest seat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The two centre suites feature a fully retractable sliding privacy panel, allowing up to four travellers to share a combined social space. Screen sizes on the 787-10 range from 13 inches in Economy to 27 inches in premium cabins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meet our new cabin design standard, coming soon across the fleet. It brings a distinctly Canadian experience to life, with a focus on comfort, care and connection for every customer on every flight.
