Air Canada Ramps Up Boeing 787 Order

Air Canada has exercised existing options to buy rights for 23 Boeing 787s, bringing its total firm orders for the aircraft to 37 from 14 originally announced, the company said last week.

The airline, which is in the process of renewing its fleet, also said it has reduced its original Boeing 777 firm order by two planes. Delivery of the 787s will begin in 2010.
