CANADA 3000 IS IN the middle of an evaluation process for its future fleet needs, which could see it conclude acquisition agreements for new long-haul aircraft before the end of the year.
The Toronto, Canada-based charter carrier operates a fleet of leased Airbus A320s and Boeing 757s on inclusive tour flights to the Caribbean, Europe, Florida and Hawaii. It is expanding its long-haul services, and has been considering various larger and longer-range aircraft, which would be more suitable for these routes.
"We are evaluating various Airbus and Boeing products," says the airline's president, Angus Kinnear, but he discounts reports that the airline has signed options for six Airbus A330s, saying: "We haven't signed anything with anyone." The airline expects the current phase of the evaluation process to be concluded within three months.
