By Robb M. Stewart

Air Canada has taken delivery of the first of 30 single-aisle Airbus jets designed to fly longer routes as the flagship carrier updates its fleet.

The Canadian airline said Friday it accepted its first Airbus A321XLR in Hamburg, which has been leased from SMBC Aviation Capital.

Air Canada has lined up 30 of the next-generation aircraft, including 15 that will be leased and 15 it will buy directly from Airbus, which it expects will enter its fleet over the coming years.

Mark Galardo, Air Canada's chief commercial officer and president of its cargo segment, said the first A321XLR marks a milestone in the airline's growth strategy and it looks to increase the flexibility to launch new international routes. The aircraft are equipped with a quieter, more comfortable cabin than the previous generation of aircraft, and will soon be deployed across the Atlantic from Montreal and Toronto and become a staple on key North American transcontinental markets, he said.
