The DC-9 was the first twin-jet airliner to be operated in Canada and was no doubt the aircraft on which countless Canadians made their first jet flight. In 1966, Air Canada became the first airline outside of the United States to operate the type. Many of the aircraft’s larger components such as wings, rear fuselage and tail unit assemblies were manufactured in Canada. The Museum’s aircraft was the fourth of this series acquired by Air Canada in 1968. It accumulated the highest airframe time in the fleet with a total time of 81,558 hours and 72,464 landings. Air Canada constantly updated their fleet with the latest technological enhancements and customer service amenities. The fleet accumulated a total of more than three million hours of service and completed more than three million landings and takeoffs. Air Canada’s last DC-9 flight took place on January 18, 2002, from New York to Montreal. - Function
-
USED MOSTLY FOR SHORT-HAUL PASSENGER SERVICE. - Technical
-
During the 1950s, Air Canada’s predecessor company, Trans-Canada Air Lines, had pioneered turbine powered passenger travel in North America with Vickers Viscount propeller-driven airliners. These turbo-props were then replaced in turn by fan-jet DC-9s. At the height of their deployment, Air Canada had a fleet of fifty DC-9s serving most of its destinations in North America. For over thirty years these easily recognized jet transports, with their aft mounted turbofan engines, gave outstanding service as the mainstay of the airline’s short-haul routes. - Area Notes
