The Boeing B747-400 was the anchor of the Air Canada widebody
fleet. Air Canada operated three aircraft in the Combi version.
The Combi allowed to accommodate up to 296 passengers in a two-class-configuration
as well as 7 pallets of cargo on the maindeck. It was therefore
utilized on routes that had high passenger and cargo demand. |
