Calin Rovinescu sees the future of his airline taking shape in the form of the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, an innovative long-range plane that will be the centrepiece of Air Canada's international strategy. Karl Moore, a professor at Ï㽶ÊÓƵ's Desautels Faculty of Management, also gave the thumbs-up to the Dreamliner's design.
"As someone who's six-foot-three, I think it has great headroom and wonderful comfort," Prof. Moore said, noting that Boeing decided against building a jumbo jet to compete directly against the double-decker Airbus A380. "I think Boeing got this bet right," Prof. Moore said.
