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.

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.

Our normal protocol for irregular events which are out of our control is in effect. We are regrettably unable to reimburse for such expenses.

I disagree with this advice. I think the chance of Max planes returning to service by April 4 is close to zero. And it seems very clear to me that SFO-YUL route is cancelled until the Max returns to service. I would take care of this asap if it were me.

I doubt we'll see any substitution on SFO-YUL. But that's just my intuition. I have no inside info

Ok I'll try to handle this afternoon - I booked through Expedia though, would you anticipate that being an issue when trying to rebook with AC? Should I contact AC (I have via twitter already) or Expedia?

How is AC rebooking YVR-KOA/LIH reservations?
With these flights (AC545 and AC583) cancelled for the foreseeable future, has anyone experienced how they are handing these flights? Are they rebooking passengers via SFO/LAX on UA or is AC consolidating through HNL/OGG on the larger aircraft with connections on HA?
I have a trip to KOA in early April and I want to understand what my options are for changes when the time comes.

I have friends leaving 23Mar YVR-OGG and still no aircraft substitution come through yet but AC said it was more likely the would be up-gauging the Hawaii routes rather than rebook affected pax through UA. I have heard that a 787 has been subbed in for some routes to Hawaii the last few days so maybe that'll become a longer term fix for travel into Apr..
AC517 (YVR-HNL): Cancelled
AC519 (YVR-HNL): Upgauged to 77W
AC535 (YVR-OGG): Cancelled
AC537 (YVR-OGG): Upgauged to 789
AC545 (YVR-KOA): Cancelled
AC583 (YVR-LIH): Cancelled

I'm doing YUL - YVR and YVR - MEL tomorrow. My flight AC 039 (787-8) has been cancelled. They replaced it with AC 1991 on a Air Canada Rouge 767. I know the circumstances are out of Air Canada's hand and there's not much to do, but is there anything I can do since I've been rebooked on a lower class, on a route that wasn't directly affected by the 737 MAX ban?

You might be able to call and get rerouted through YYZ on AC125 or 33, but that requires a double connection.

Who said that the max would be back in the air? How would you plan to look after this asap if everything is changing daily? If SFO-YUL is a profitable route for AC, they will figure away to start flying that route shortly. This max grounding will soon show which route are the profitable for AC. The routes AC is not making money, will feel the majority of cuts.

That said SFO-YUL is neither an outport to a hub or a vacation destination. I'd presume it is profitable, and with PAX who fly more than once a year to the beach.
