The one on the bottom looks like the best of the lot.

I was going to say the same thing. It looks much like American's new livery.

Whole thing makes me sad. AC has/had one of the most unique liveries out of the international carriers. It's awesome coming in for a landing at a far-off outpost like LHR or HKG and spotting that distinct ice-blue colour and you just know its an AC plane.

On top of that, switching the narrowbody fleet to the 737 family will mean even smaller cabin footprint for passengers used to the airbuses.

Throw in a render of the CS100/CS300s thought and you got my interest again though!!

Almost forgot about DFW starting on AC ~ 3 days ago:

No one has confirmed the icy colour scheme is going...

It probably is, looking at the colour palette of their new website

[LeftCoaster]

Absolutely a possibility, I'm just saying no reason to jump to conclusions already.

I'm thinking H.W.

Correct. The name change happened 20 years ago.

The see-saw continues, China Southern back to full 787 in YVR-CAN.

I still think we'll see one more change to 7xPW: 77W and 3xPW: 788, but who knows with all these changes.

Which metal will theyuse on the Mexico City leg? 77W or 788, or both?

Any update on the AC LHR slot that is unused?

Whatever is being unveiled tomorrow, it appears the aircraft flew in from Indiana last night. A321:

Finally!

Effective 15 June YVR - TPE is going daily on 77Ws.

Currently at 5 weekly.

Nice. Overall TPE has had a big increase with this and AC's daily 787.

[zahav]

AC has updated their summer scheds, nothing too groundbreaking but some nice improvements I'd say:

-No more Embraer E90 flights at all. We knew this was coming, but there were still a few YYC and YEG flights scheduled with it, as well as Chicago. Those have now been replaced with 319/320 metal
-YYC and YEG back to all-mainline service. There had been a few Jazz-operated flights in the scheds, but those have been replaced with 319/320 as well
-Increased frequencies to YUL and YYZ, and more widebody flights (won't go into flight by flight, but YUL will now have a daily Dreamliner flight, as well as the lone 330 that AC flies from YVR, and then the standard 320/321s. YYZ has 320/321/767/789/777
-Several more Jazz DH3s have been replaced by DH4, this is a big capacity jump (74 vs. 50 seats). Fort St John, PG, Terrace, Kelowna, Seattle, Portland and Victoria will now be fully or majority DH4, and all used to be DH3. YVR definitely is good for larger capacity aircarft. We don't have any AC Express Beechcraft flights, or even any DH1 or CRJ flights, all DH3 and increasingly DH4 or CRA (Saskatoon, Whitehorse, Winnipeg, and all of the other US destinations like San Jose, San Diego, Denver, Phoenix, Dallas)

Probably more changes to come, but this was a nice bump for summer in several areas. Now lets all look forward to the new livery unveiling!

New Air Canada Livery!

I love it!! Classy mix of the 1993-2004 livery and the original, love the Roundel on the tail!

UPDATE : Facebook has since deleted it, here's a link to an Anet thread with great pics.

I think they pulled the album off the FB page as the announcement has been delayed until 9:30. Looks good though! Black tail, engines and underbelly.

Edit: Pics I managed to pull from AC's FB page before the album was removed.
