C-GBIM
C-GBIM performed its first flight in June, 1998. The Airbus A319-114 was delivered to Air Canada on June 12, 1998. On June 2, 2014, this airliner was transferred from the mainline fleet to Rouge.
This airplane is configured for a maximum total of 136 passengers. There are 12 seats in business class, six more in premium economy and 118 economy class seats. This is currently one of 22 A319 models in the Rouge fleet.
On October 19, 2015, C-GBIM was flying from Tampa, Florida to Toronto, Ontario. During the flight, crew received an indication that the yellow hydraulic system was at a low level. The airplane was able to continue to its destination for a safe landing. As a result, a check valve o-ring was replaced at the PTU manifold.

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.
