Normally an Air Canada Jetz all business class charter for the seven Canadian NHL hockey teams, C-GBHN finds itself shuttling ‘commoners’ on scheduled domestic flights during the COVID-19 shit storm. We photographed this Airbus A319-100 on August 22, 2020 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

C-GBHN
C-GBHN performed its first flight on January 6, 1998. The Airbus A319-114 was delivered to Air Canada on January 28, 1998. The A319 was then tranferred to Air Canada Jetz on September 27, 2013. This aircraft seats up to 58 passengers rather comfortably.
The oldest of the three Airbus A319-100 flying under the Jetz brand, this airliner and one other are currently operating domestic flights for the mainline between Toronto, Montreal and Ottawa. The third, C-GBIK, has been parked during the coronavirus travel restrictions.
On April 2, 2017, this airplane was setting up to fly from Tampa, Florida to Fort Lauderdale, presumably with an National Hockey League team aboard. Still parked with the engines off, a bus collided with the aircraft. The impact caused extensive damage to the fuselage and left side outer flap track. The aircraft was loaded with passengers but there were no injuries.
