In compliance with Transport Canada’s safety notice closing Canadian airspace to Boeing 737 MAX aircraft operations, Air Canada has grounded its 24 737 MAX aircraft until further notice.
Air Canada is now updating its April and May schedule to further optimize its fleet and re-accommodate customers. Because the timeline for the return to service of the 737 Max is unknown, for planning purposes and to provide customers certainty for booking and travel, Air Canada is removing all 737 MAX aircraft from its schedule until at least July 1, 2019. A summary of schedule changes for April is posted below in the following question and answer: “What is Air Canada doing to reschedule customers?”. Additional schedule changes will be posted as warranted.

Air Canada confirmed today that it will comply immediately with Transport Canada's safety notice closing Canadian airspace to Boeing 737 MAX aircraft operations until further notice.
Air Canada's cancellation and rebooking policies are in place with full fee waiver for affected customers. We are working to rebook impacted customers as soon as possible. Given the magnitude of our 737 MAX operations which on average carry nine to twelve thousand customers per day, customers can expect delays in rebooking and in reaching Air Canada Call Centres. Priority will be given to customers travelling within the next 72 hours. We appreciate our customers' patience.
If you'd like to know what type of aircraft you are flying on, simply retrieve your booking from the My Bookings tab, then click on the 'Details' link in the Flight Details section. We also advise you to check the status of your flight before heading to the airport.

How many Boeing 737 MAX aircraft does Air Canada have?
Air Canada has a fleet of 24 Boeing 737 MAX-8 aircraft, which have been in operation since 2017. We have a total fleet of 400 aircraft (including 24 737MAX), comprising Air Canada mainline, Air Canada Rouge and Air Canada Express aircraft.
Where do the Boeing 737 MAX aircraft fly to?
These aircraft operate flights across North America, to Mexico, the Caribbean, Hawaii, as well as from Atlantic Canada to London Heathrow.
How many Boeing 737 MAX flights are there each day, and how many passengers are affected?
We typically operate approximately 75 Boeing 737 MAX flights daily out of a total schedule of approximately 1,600 daily flights system-wide, representing less than six percent of our total flying.
We have a total fleet of 400 aircraft (including 24 Boeing 737 MAX), comprising Air Canada mainline, Air Canada Rouge and Air Canada Express aircraft.
What is Air Canada doing to reschedule customers?
We are making adjustments to our schedule to minimize the disruption to customers as much as possible, by optimizing the deployment of the rest of our fleet and looking at alternative options, including accommodating customers on other airlines.
As an example of some of our adjustments to Boeing 737 MAX flights cancelled, we have re-scheduled widebody aircraft to serve Hawaii starting today, March 13. Some flights will operate as scheduled with mainline or Air Canada Rouge aircraft, such as on Montreal-Martinique and Montreal-Guadeloupe. Other routes, notably Halifax-London and St. John's-London are cancelled in the short term, with customers being re-routed through our Montreal and Toronto hubs.
What should I do right now?
As changes are finalized in our flight schedule, customers whose flight times or flight numbers have changed can expect to receive an email detailing their updated itinerary. This information is also available in My Bookings on the Air Canada App.
If you are travelling soon, you can also contact us or your travel agent. Please understand that priority is being given to customers travelling within the next 72 hours.
We have also put in place a rebooking policy, space permitting, and without additional fees for affected customers. Given the magnitude of our Boeing 737 MAX operations, which on average carry nine to twelve thousand customers per day, customers can expect delays in rebooking and in reaching Air Canada's Call Centres.
Where can I go to for more information?
If you would like to know what type of aircraft you are flying on, simply retrieve your booking from the My Bookings tab, then click on the 'Details' link in the Flight Details section.

We thank all of our customers for their patience.
Will Air Canada cover my out-of-pocket expenses such as additional accommodation costs that I may incur as a result of these disruptions?
Our normal protocol for irregular events which are out of our control is in effect. We are regrettably unable to reimburse for such expenses.

So I am travelling with my family in J home from HNL on Mar 25. Assuming that the grounding is still in effect, it looks like we’ll be on a 77W.
The question is what my options will be for my youngest kid. He’s <2 years old with his own seat in J on an AE reward ticket. Regulations dictate he must be in his car seat, which as I understand it is not possible in a lie flat pod.
So... any thoughts on my options? I’m guessing I will either have to rebook to a compatible aircraft, or he travels as a lap infant and I try and get my reward ticket refunded.
I’m not particularly concerned at this point as there’s still 11 days until the flight, but am starting to think about it.

Don't know if I'd make that assumption. Maybe a 767, maybe an A330. Or maybe a re-route on UA.

PY or Premium Rouge perhaps? But its really too early to know what aircraft will actually operate the segment. At this point they're likely winging it (no pun intended). Its a very fluid situation. If you're old enough to remember, the closest analogue might very well be the abrupt integration of CP and AC circa 2000-2001 that was very chaotic.

PY I suppose would be an option but with the rest of us being on paid J tickets, a downgrade isn't ideal.
First world problems.

The most surpring thing about the ban is how the airlines are downplaying the effect on them. Even when they know things will be absolutely terrible, they say things like the max is ONLY x% of our overall fleet. Yet IIRC it's 25% of the narrowbody fleet and 100% of mainline ETOPS narrowbody fleet.
On a GOOD day AC already has several broken / Aicraft on the Ground (often aging Airbus fleet) with few spares.
Also--On My Way travel protection may be WELL worth the $ to those who booked an AC737 MAX flight.... or even those who book one in the coming weeks.

I'd wait until a day or 2 before travel. If it looks like it'll be a mainline widebody then go for a refund and have your kid be a lap infant. It is also possible that the'll put rouge by then 767 in which case your J booking can use the car seat.
Worst case you have a lap infant and a refund of miles; I wouldn't sweat it.

lol 47% OTP implies a majority of flights running off schedule. But you take a few out, and maybe the average rises to 50.1! Therefore a majority!
"Vast majority" is probably coined by the same person who made the "fly in ultimate comfort" 737MAX ads.
