Air Canada maintained a robust liquidity position of $10.3 billion at the end of 2023, representing a $500 million increase from the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a strategic financial move, the airline prepaid approximately $1.3 billion of outstanding debt, including financing for 33 Airbus A220 and five Boeing 787-8 aircraft. This decision has strengthened Air Canada&#8217;s unencumbered asset pool, which reached an estimated value of $6.6 billion by the end of 2023, excluding the value of its Aeroplan loyalty program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The year 2023 proved productive for fleet expansion. Air Canada added 12 aircraft to its operating fleet, evenly split between six wide-body aircraft (including two freighters) and six narrow-body aircraft.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned with us.
