Air Canada announces plans to buy 75 Bombardier CSeries planes worth $3.8 billion

Air Canada said on Wednesday it would purchase 45 of the CS300 aircraft, with an option to buy an additional 30 planes.

Air Canada said its costs would fall this year when the Canadian dollar remained unchanged from 2015 levels, and announced plans to buy up to 75 CS300 aircraft from Bombardier Inc as part of an agenda to renew its fleet.

A falling Canadian dollar continues to be weighing on Air Canada since the company makes major purchases such as fuel and planes in dollars.

Canada’s biggest airline said hello expects adjusted cost per average seat mile, which excludes fuel expenses, to fall 2-3 percent this season, “when the worth of the Canadian dollar were at 2015 levels.”
