What we know about AC121

What flying YYZ to YVR takes

It is a medium-haul sector, long enough for a full meal service, short enough for narrowbodies. Air Canada needs a narrowbody on the longer variants, or a widebody where demand justifies it: at this distance the choice is usually about seat count rather than range. Westbound, this route pushes into the prevailing winds aloft, which is why the eastbound leg is normally the quicker one. In daylight the sun sits on the left (south-facing) side of the cabin for most of the crossing.

How we verified this

The origin and destination on this page are the ones we verified for callsign ACA121 through adsbdb, not a schedule copied from elsewhere. We have logged it airborne on 37 days between 2026-09-19 and 2026-10-25. Timings are observations, not an official operational status: always confirm with the airline before travelling.

This page was published from our own tracking record rather than a third-party schedule feed, so it grows as we see the flight again. The seven-day log below is the raw version of the same evidence.

AC121 activity in the past 7 days

Our database contains 4 observations of AC121 across 4 UTC dates in this window, most recently 2026-10-25. Those records contain 3 distinct transponder addresses. The most frequently resolved route was YYZ-YVR (4 records).

The median recorded visibility was 1435 minutes. That is time inside receiver coverage, not airborne duration or an on-time-performance measurement.

How much CO2 does AC121 emit?

Worked from the great-circle distance and the fuel burn measured for Boeing 787-9, the aircraft normally flying this route. Carbon dioxide only - see the method below.

Distance flown3,346 km
AircraftBoeing 787-9 Dreamliner
Fuel burn rate5.78 kg per km
Fuel burned19,323 kg
CO2, whole flight61.1 tonnes
Seats, typical layout290
Passengers carried241 at an 83% load factor
CO2 per passenger253 kg

Where that lands by cabin

The aircraft burns the same fuel whoever is aboard, so the cabins divide one total rather than each carrying their own. A seat's share is the floor it takes up, which is why an economy seat comes out below the 253 kg cabin average and a flat bed well above it.

Economy238 seats, 198 flown
183 kg CO2 per seat
Business44 seats, 37 flown
531 kg CO2 per seat
First9 seats, 7 flown
733 kg CO2 per seat

Taken whole, AC121 emits what 1,018 trees take back out of the air in a year. One economy seat on it accounts for about the same carbon dioxide as driving a petrol car 1,490 km, or 7,239 km of the same journey by train.

How this is worked out. Fuel burn is read from published measurements of this type, taken at sectors of 6,204 km, 9,208 km and 12,116 km, all longer than this route, so the closest is held flat and the real figure is likely a little higher. It counts carbon dioxide only, and the cabin split assumes the layout typical of this size of aircraft. Read the full method, sources and caveats, or put AC121 against another flight.
