CargoJet Airways, an air freight company in Canada since the early 2000’s. C-GCIJ is one of their Boeing 767-300ER aircraft that has been converted to a freighter. The airliner started life with KLM back in 1995 and has had a well-traveled life since. We photographed C-GCIJ while plane spotting at John C. Munro International Airport (YHM) in Hamilton, Ontario on August 17, 2017.
