Air Canada (AC, Montréal Trudeau) is considering adding more A321-200s to the fleet of its Air Canada rouge (RV, Toronto Pearson) subsidiary Chief Executive Officer Calin Rovinescu has said.

Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of the IATA AGM currently being held in Miami, Rovinescu said his Airline was considering sourcing five more A321 Jets to add to the five already on order.

"The ultimate objective is to have 25 narrowbodies, and up to 10 of those could be larger A321s," he said adding the five A321s may also be sourced from the second market.

The budget operator's fleet currently includes twenty-one A319-100s and twelve B767-300(ER)s. The first two of five A321s on order from Airbus Industrie (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac), cn 6844 and 6905, are scheduled to arrive in December this year and January of 2016.
