Colombian startup Ultra Air plans to nearly double the aircraft in its fleet in 2023 and add eight aircraft annually to its operations during the next three years, CEO William Shaw said.

Focusing on next generation aircraft including Boeing 737-8s, 787s, Airbus A220s and the A321-XLR is at the top of the list for Air Canada, its CFO said.

Air Canada believes its deepened partnership with fellow Star Alliance member United Airlines will enhance its competitiveness in the U.S. transborder market.
