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'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.

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.

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.

@bcnfish — I looked at this for CDG. The reviews of the aircraft left something to be desired. Sounded a lot like the old HD for the J cabin. I can’t comment on the back or PE. It will be AC service/meals. A mix of Qatar and AC staff but mostly Qatar. I’m assuming AC staff will be in leadership/supervisory positions but that’s an assumption.
If you take it, pls let us know what it’s like. The MAX saga looks like it will go on longer than predicted......

Flew J from YUL to BCN last night.
Weird experience. All Qatar crew except 2 Air Canada crew, who I saw just before takeoff and just before landing but otherwise Qatar crew served the J cabin, and the in-charge seemed to be from Qatar as well (she introduced herself to me before takeoff). The AC crew did the announcements in French.
The flight was catered and run like any AC TATL in J. Taking to the Qatar crew and they were still getting used to this - e.g. they always plate meals, never use a cart, but with AC catering they are using carts instead. Also AC runs 4 fewer cabin staff on a TATL than Qatar does.
I liked the pods. Honestly, even though these are the old Qatar pods they are nicer than the AC ones, old or new. The only disadvantage is not all have direct aisle access (not herringbone) but since we were 4 travelling together it did not matter.
All in all 1000% better than Premium Rouge which is what I originally paid for!

AC has now updated the timetable through October 12. However, for the Hawaii routes they are still showing the Omni 767 as flying until September 2, when it goes back to the MAX at 5x weekly. That seems pretty unlikely at this point. I assume they will be renewing the lease on the 767.
Do we have any further reports on the Omni 767? We had one report from J. Are there any from Y? (I’m due to fly to Honolulu in early October so would like to get a seat request in as soon as they make the swap.)

I don’t blame you. They are extending the schedule every time, but remaining optimistic about the MAX’s return, it seems. I’d say it’s very unlikely to be back flying on September 3.

Also, if you've noticed they've cut back on quality of the timetable (incorrect factual information), I'm guessing because they are in a rush to publish a new timetable every week.

My mistake—they did push it back to September 30. So they are now hoping to get the MAX back on the route for October 1. But there’s a mismatch between what they list as flights for HNL-YVR and what they list for YVR-HNL, so it’s all still messy.

Do we have any reports yet from people who have flown the Omni 767s between YVR and HNL? Would it be worth starting a new thread for that so it stands out a little more? I see that AC is (apparently) only selling row 17 as extra legroom, but it’s also immediately beside the lavs…

I’m not up until early October. So at the very least I’ll be hoping you’ll provide some information based on your experience.
I do wonder if we’d do better starting a new thread specifically for the Omni 767s. How many people are still keeping up with this one?

How long does the wet lease with Omni run until? Can/will it be extended, or will AC eventually have to juggle its own metal back onto the Hawaiian routes if the MAX grounding continues into the winter season?

It remains to be seen if AC can re-juggle the fleet to move these routes back to their own metal for the winter when there is more slack in the schedule.
