Air Canada sees ‘friction’ in delayed deliveries of A321XLR jets

Air Canada still sees “friction in the system” regarding delays in the deliveries of Airbus A321XLR jets, the airline’s chief operating officer said on Wednesday, as the carrier starts flights this month with the longer-range single-aisle jet.

Boeing and Airbus are trying to ramp up production of more fuel-efficient single aisle aircraft, but airlines globally face delivery delays on multiple models due frequently to supply chain challenges and labor shortages.
