Flights operated by Air Canada rouge

NOTE: Rouge Wifi information can be found here
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/air-c...l#post28448087

Dates in brackets indicate planned start of rouge service (either as a new route or replacing mainline service). ML placed before a date indicates the date that service is reverting to mainline.

All Airbus A319/A321 service is in the new Premium Rouge configuration with 2x2J seats. All other routes are Boeing 767-300ER aircraft in a 24J/258Y layout.

Airport codes in blue indicate that these routes are Boeing 767-300ER aircraft for all services.
Airport codes in red indicate that these routes are split between Boeing 767-300ER and Airbus services.
Airport codes in black indicate that these routes are Airbus aircraft for all services.

Routes are organized based on the established rouge bases of YYZ, YUL, YYC, and YVR

AC already has a B767 with 260 seats in it's fleet...a pineapple with a 18J/242Y config.

The article isn't quite correct with the math on # of seats. AC's densest XM'd B767 has 211 seats - not the 225 stated in the article. Add 50 seats and you get a pineapple.

Even though they are rumoured to be going to 3-4-3 B777s, they don't need to go 2-4-2 with the LCC to get the density they want.

I immediately thought of Canadian football, the 1-point score you can only get if the other team is incompetent.

30 inch pitch, 333 seats! Now that's high density.

Another longstanding and accepted usage of the word "rouge" in Canada can be found at Rule 3, section 2, article 4 of the CFL Rule Book (page 29).

Rouge: a solid Canadian word for about 150 years.....

Chris Milo scored a rouge for the Roughriders last year on a 109-yard punt. I'm sure it was entirely due to the incompetence of the returning team that they didn't anticipate that.

given it is the LCC, I would expect the fares to be T---... not that I will try to find out if the pitch does become 'pinch'.

Rouge - because of embarrassment?

I actually sort of like that livery. The logo on the tail reminds me of yesteryear.
