Coronavirus: Air Canada converting Boeing 777s and Q400s to cargo-only - Business Insider

Air Canada is taking its cargo-only flights to the next level with Boeing 777-300ER and Dash 8-400 aircraft being reconfigured to hold cargo in passenger cabins.

The Dash 8-400 conversions were added later in April as the demand for regional freight transportation grew. Air Canada, like many global airlines, decided to make the shift to cargo-only flights in March once the demand for passenger travel dried up. To maximize cargo capacity on its largest jets, three Boeing 777-300ER planes have had their passenger seats removed to create more space for potential freight. While airliners are no stranger to cargo conversions, as seen with many of the freighters flying today, the temporary setups preserve the cabin's integrity while the cargo is flown.

I’d say it looked like they removed them to replace at a later date. Ripping them out implies an aggressive act.

I heard there is even more space in the fueltank…😵😵

Good move as cargo is currently the only demand
