C-FYIY
C-FYIY performed its maiden flight on November 27, 1996. The Airbus A319-113 was delivered to Air Canada on December 11, 1996. The aircraft was then transferred to the Rouge fleet on April 7, 2014.
One of 22 Airbus A319-100 airliners in the Rouge fleet, this airplane is configured for a maximum total of 136 passengers. There are 12 seats in premium economy and 124 economy class seats. This is the second oldest in the fleet.
A decade ago, on September 7, 2010, this aircraft was flying from San Francisco, California to Toronto, Ontario. During the flight, the glass on the left side windscreen shattered. After declaring an emergency, the A319 came in for a safe landing at Minneapolis, Minnesota. Within four hours, the windscreen was replaced and the flight resumed.
October 27, 2016 marked the first of a string of issues with the ADIRU (Air Data And Inertial Reference Unit). Flying from Orlando, Florida to Montreal, Quebec, the ADIRU #1 failed on takeoff. The climb was stopped at 6,000 feet and diverted back to Orlando for a safe landing. C-FMWV, a Boeing 767-300ER, was brought in as a replacement.
Less than a week later, on November 2, 2016, the same issues cropped up. On a flight from Las Vegas, Nevada to Montreal, Quebec, the ADIRU #1 failed again, just as the aircraft leveled off at 29,000 feet. The flight was diverted back to Las Vegas for a safe landing. As a result, the ADIRU #1, ADIRU #3 and ADM #4 were replaced.
On May 25, 2017, the Airbus A319-100 was flying from Miami, Florida to Toronto. After experiencing moderate turbulence while cruising at 35,000 feet, crew received a ‘NAV ADR DISAGREE’ message. The flight continued to its destination without incident. As a result, the #1 and #3 angle of attack sensors were replaced, along with all three Air Data Units.

Air Canada Rouge
Air Canada Rouge was founded in December, 2012 as a wholly owned subsidiary of Air Canada. The brand has a fleet of over 60 aircraft flying to 50 destinations. Prior to March, 2020, there were 25 Boeing 767-300ER, 22 Airbus A319-100, four Airbus A320-200 and 14 Airbus A321-200 models.
The airline announced at the start of May, 2020 that all Boeing 767 and Airbus A319 aircraft would be retired, a result of the COVID-19 fallout. This leaves the brand with just 18 airlines, all either Airbus A321-200 or Airbus A320-200. Through the main airline, Rouge is a member of the Star Alliance.
