Air Canada has launched a major upgrade of its regional fleet, in an effort to increase the comfort and flying experience across its Q-400 aircraft.
Under the initiative, 25 De Havilland Dash 8-400 aircraft operated for Air Canada Express by Jazz Aviation will undergo a full cabin redesign.
This will include new seating, new interiors and, on select aircraft, free onboard Wi-Fi — an industry first for this type of aircraft.
Air Canada’s refurbishment of the Canadian-made Jazz Dash 8-400 fleet will occur in phases through 2026.
The installation of the new seating is expected to be completed in mid-2026. Each aircraft will have 78 seats, and pitch will be unchanged.
