Unlike most Airbus A320-200 models in the Air Canada fleet, C-FGJI didn’t come to the Canadian airline brand new. In fact, the nearly 20 year old aircraft arrived in 2015 after previously serving for Goodjet, Azzurra Air and Thomas Cook Airlines. We photographed this A320 on March 3, 2020 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).
