TRANSFORMING INTO A GLOBAL CHAMPION
-
90% OF PROJECTED CAPACITY GROWTH AIMED AT INTERNATIONAL
MARKETS
Focused on selective expansion of network and developing synergies offered by alliances
with other carriers
Historically, margins have been the highest on international routes
Leveraging strengths internationally:
-
extensive and expanding global network
geographically well-positioned hubs
competitive products and services
Capacity growth of 13.9% in the first nine months or 2016, of which 87.7% was to
international destinations
Launched more than 20 international and U.S. Transborder routes in the summer of 2016 -
most intensive period of expansion in Air Canada's history - all fully meeting expectations
Natural consequence - anticipated negative yield impact due to increased average stage
lengths and a greater mix of leisure revenues vs business revenues
However, incremental traffic is being flown at a significantly lower-cost (B787s, increased
seats on B777s, and Air Canada Rouge) resulting in margin expansion
Diversified network lowers risk profile
