They still have the 787 operating the route - this will replace the 319 runs I’m guessing. I’d rather the 220 then the CRJ 5+ hour flights to Huston.

It's always a red-letter day when Air Canada rolls out a modern aircraft to replace their usual 25 year-old A320s or the 30 year-old B767s still toiling away on overseas routes.
Using flight number 797? After the disaster in 1983?
I was surprised by that as well. I guess they don't always retire a number as American still uses Flight 1, even though there have been two fatal incidents with that associated number.
I like A220 BUT I also am perfectly happy with 767's provided that the upholstery and sound systems are in good condition. What would a passenger have against 767's? Airlines are phasing them out because of less good fuel economy and increased maintenance costs due to age, but passengers mostly like this model!
Its an A320 currently.
They have the Max penciled in for later this year, but that obviously can and is changing.
