C-FYQN
C-FYQN made its first flight on December 6, 2001 and was delivered to Ryanair on December 19, 2001 as EI-CST. The European ultra low cost carrier stored the Boeing 737-800 in March, 2009. The following month, the aircraft was delivered to CanJet and the registration was changed to C-FYQN.
With CanJet doing their bulk of business in the winter months, taking Canadian vacationers to sunshine destinations, the Boeing 737-800 was leased to LOT Polish Airlines over the summer of 2014. After being stored for a short time in April, 2015, C-FYQN was then leased to JetairFly (aka TUIfly Belgium) between April and December, 2015 and was registered as OO-CAN.
Since December 3, 2015, Air Transat has leased this airplane (as C-FYQN) from CIT Aerospace. The Boeing 737-800 has the sardine can configuration of 189 seats, all in economy class.
