Looks like it's planned to get a paint job at some point, but they need the capacity now so it's going into service as is.

The AC Cargo page with aircraft and container specs.

Nicer look, cleaner layout and feels much smoother than the pax website. IMO.

Posting on behalf of @jasdou who spotted these

Some great photos taken at TLV (2 tweets, 8 photos)


*****

I suppose this could also go in the Where is Air Canada Rouge Hiding? thread.

I spotted this in the video from IAI on the P2F conversion. The "fancy" rouge cabin makes an appearance at the beginning and end of the video

Great shots!

I gotta get me onto that cool viewing platform that @tracon has. I'm usually the soggy one near the end of 26R.

Very inventive. Maybe they'll re-use the same layout for Rouge flights.

I'm curious what's at the front of the plane... I'm assuming there's still a lav and a small galley for the crew. Any rest area?

Interesting column from mentourpilot

Air Canada - First 767 Converted Freighter Returns Home - Dec 6 2021

https://mentourpilot.com/air-canada-...-returns-home/


(Two photos would qualify for the Throwback Thursday thread.... "The airline officially launched its Air Canada Cargo arm in the late 1970s."

From another AC captain. Now we know about the lav (P.S. I love Steve Giordano's posts and videos)

Do they have cargo only flights with 330 planes?

There was an AC 330 parked at AMS today. Boeing 787s are used for passenger flights, and both planes were there. Only resume I can see for the 330 is cargo.

Any thought?

Planespotters shows these A333 Fins in cargo configuration.



And FR24 shows this FIN 940 (C-GEGC) was in AMS
