Air Canada took delivery of its first Airbus A320 on Jan 25th 1990 becoming the 1st airline in Canada to operate the type. The A319 joined the fleet in 1996 while the A321 was added in 2001. Today the airline operates a fleet of 89 aircraft composed of 38 A319s, 41 A320s and 10 A321s on routes as far North as Anchorage, as far South as Caracas and all the way to Europe with its St John's to London Heathrow route. This is the 1st time our series features a flight to Bermuda and Orlando!


Reviews
Air Canada has been a fantastic contributor in the world of Aviation documentaries with nearly 7 DVDs filmed by Just Planes. I surely hope that U.S airlines such as Delta, Jetblue and others will follow. Our flight onboard the A319/321 takes us to many exciting destinations such as Bermuda, Orlando and Montego Bay Jamaica! Let’s check out some of the highlights.

We start off with an introduction by the fleet manager as he discusses his role and other interesting bits of information on the Air Canada A319/320/321 fleet and their destinations.

Our flight from Toronto to Bermuda features a detailed briefing and cockpit preflight checks. During the climb/cruise phase of flight the captain talks about routing, RVSM and the level of concentration needed for flying through the busy east coast airspace. One can’t help but notice the fantastic team work among the pilots at Air Canada. They are very professional yet very down to earth and friendly. Final highlights of our first round trip flight include an beautiful approach over the turquoise waters into Bermuda, walk around presentation and a nice landing back at Toronto with rain and low visibility.

Our second round trip takes us from Toronto to the beautiful Montego Bay, Jamaica. Highlights of this trip start off with a rainy day departure from Toronto and an interesting presentation by the captain on routing and interchanging with flying the A319, 320 and 321. Other highlights include flying over the famous Cape Canaveral, Palm Beach Airport and Boca Raton Airport. Viewers will also be blown away by the beautiful approach into Montego Bay which also includes replay from various camera views. On our return trip we fly over the beautiful islands of the Bahamas and during the lighter workload moments of our flight, the F.O can be seen reading the Just Planes anniversary Brochure! We finally arrive safe and sound at Toronto at night with a beautiful view of the skyline.

Finally, our last round trip takes us from Toronto to Orlando. While this leg didn’t feature any thing different to our previous flights, I found it fun to be able to see an approach into a U.S airport from the cockpit of the Airbus. It isn’t common for Just Planes to be featuring U.S flights nowadays due to many strict regulations that are now in effect by many airlines. One can only hope that we get to see more U.S flights in the future.

So how would I rate this DVD? Well just as other Air Canada DVDs this one gets 10/10. The editing, presentations and unique destinations makes this DVD a must have.  Reviewed by AvSim

This is definitely one of my favourites in the AC series only behind the 777LR to Australia. It is also one of my favourites from the entire World Air Routes collection. I just love the Airbus A320 family of aircraft, the routes were very well chosen, and great camerawork and scenery. As always with Air Canada programs the crews were great and gave nice presentations. The approaches were all very nice, especially the night landing back in Toronto. I was very happy that the DVD included a flight to the U.S. and I hope further AC programs will also feature U.S. destinations. A fantastic job as always and looking forward to more Air Canada Airbus A320 family programs.  Mark Wilson, CANADA

I finally bought the Air Canada Airbus A319/A321 dvds. And In my opinion it is one of the best dvd featuring the A319/A321. Director Udo Scheafer does a wonderful job from beginning to end. Starting with Fleet Manager Jim Dunnett, with his Introduction/Presentation; followed by Captain Jeff Dennis (pilot to/from Bermuda) and Captain Peter Soltau (co-pilot to/from Bermuda); then Captain Geoff Greif (assisted by First Officer Christine Lyon) on the A321 flights; and finally Captain Peter Soltau (who is in the left seat this time), assisted by First Officer Jeff LacLellan, on the Orlando flights. The scenery on all of the flights was excellent: including scenes of the airports in Jacksonville and Daytona Beach; as well as the takeoffs/landings at all three destinations featured. Great cockpit presentations, as well as the workaround in Bermuda, as well as the takeoffs/landings briefings and flight progress. GREAT JOB AIR CANADA and JUSTPLANES.

Another fantastic video from Worldairroutes! The Air Canada A319/321 video is well done with extremely professional and friendly flight crews. These Air Canada pilots set a high standard for professionalism. The camera work on all three roundrtrips is impressive. If you are a fan of the Airbus, you will love this video. I look forward to my next Air Canada flight as a passenger. In the future I hope we can see more Air Canada-related videos including flights on the Air Canada Jazz CRJ-900, the new Q400 and the Air Georgian Beech 1900D" Brian Gustafson, USA

I think this DVD is a must have. Great production, great crews, and a great fleet appear on this DVD. I want to congratulate you for traveling all the world to do this marvellous productions. Another great thing on this DVD is the resolution of the video, the HD looks amazing. Thank you very much. Rafa Hemsani, MEXICO

This latest Air Canada DVD is Just Amazing! The fleet manager, crew, scenery and the video quality is topnotch! Just Plane's Air Canada collection is a must have for all aviation enthusiasts. Thank you Just Planes for another great production and a very big thank you to Air Canada for letting us see your Airbus A32X operations in detail.

I really enjoyed this program, flight informations, cockpit presentation, crews, sceneries all great. I’m up to my 45th DVD and I must say that the Air Canada ones are the best, of course being An Air Canada retiree Ha ! Ha !

Another great Air Canada production yet again. I am not much of an Airbus fan but I could not resist purchasing the DVD. It was great to see a US airport and the other routes were great too. The Air Canada crews continue to amaze me with their enthusiastic participation in the series. Congrats Michel & Udo on another hit! George Alves, USA

I ordered my DVD directly from Justplanes. It arrived here safely in a very good time. I do like this program very much - as I do like the other Air Canada DVDs- because of the Pilots give many explanations and are very competent and friendly. I also enjoyed the landing into Toronto by night very much. I have all Air Canda DVDs and they are all great in my opinion. For sure they are all different, as they all feature different types of operations. All the crews are doing a very fine job!
The only thing that I am missing is a walkaround around the 777`s and the 767. When you are showing a landing as replay from different angles, I would like to have a little "R" mentioned somewhere. When you did this the first time, I was a bit confused.  I hope, that there will be many more DVDs featuring Air Canadas aircraft. Especially I hope for a 787 program when it arrives to the fleet. It is great from Air Canada to give the opportunity to fly in the cockpit. Thank you Air Canada and Crews for the god job and Justplanes for producing these DVDs. Sven, GERMANY

Viewing my 5th WorldAirRoutes DVD I must say this is an impressive ride on the Air Canada A320 family. This caught my eye by being one of the only modern cockpit DVD's with 100% of the legs passing through U.S. airspace. As a student in air traffic control; the transitions through heavy air traffic areas shape my understanding of how ATC instructions can affect the flight crew's workload. I noticed one pair of flights was on the same day I was onboard an airbus myself in the Eastern Seaboard, and can vouch first-hand that the pre-flight turbulence charts accurately reflected the flight conditions! The quality on all 6 approaches and landings is very impressive. The one thing I would have preferred is seeing more taxi highlights that hadn't made the cut. I really hope to see you find ways to feature more flights into (and above) the U.S. in the Future. Craig Cestari, USA

Just wanted to tell you that I am fascinated, and I love airplanes very much!!!
