C-GBIJ
C-GBIJ took its first flight on May 5, 1998 and the Airbus A319-114 was delivered to Air Canada on May 25, 1998. The airplane was then transferred to Air Canada Rouge on October 20, 2014. This is one of 20 Airbus A319 aircraft in the Rouge fleet.
The airplane is configured with 12 Premium Rouge seats and eight more in Rouge Plus, along with 116 seats in economy class for a total of 136 potential passengers. This aircraft flies from Canada to the United States, Latin America and the Caribbean for much of the year.
On July 19, 2014, while still in the main Air Canada fleet, C-GBIJ was performing a flight from Vancouver, British Columbia (YVR) to Montreal, Quebec (YUL). While accelerating for takeoff, the takeoff was rejected after an engine stall. The Airbus A319 taxied back to the terminal safely. The right hand engine had suffered an compressor stall and was replaced.
