Soon, C-GHLT will have been flying for Air Canada for 17 years. Since 2015, the Boeing 767-300ER has been in service for wholly owned subsidiary, Air Canada Rouge. Back in 2014, the B763 had a flight disrupted by what turned out to be a faulty coffee pot (more on that below). We photographed this aircraft on May 20, 2018 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

C-GHLT
C-GHLT performed its first flight on April 17, 2001 and was delivered to Air Canada on June 13, 2001. The Boeing 767-333ER remained in the main fleet until March 19, 2015 when it was transferred to Air Canada Rouge. This B763 is configured for a maximum total of 282 passengers with 24 seats in premium economy and 258 economy class seats. This is one of 25 Boeing 767-300ER models in the Rouge fleet.
On August 20, 2014, C-GHLT was flying from Vancouver, British Columbia to Honolulu, Hawaii. Flying at 34,000 feet, about 500 miles out of YVR, a burning smell and smoke was detected in the cabin. The airliner was diverted back to Vancouver for a safe landing. The culprit turned out to be a coffee pot on board.

The B763 is 55 metres or 180 feet in length with a wingspan of 48 metres or 156 feet. At the tail, the airliner stands 16 metres or 52 feet in height. The flight range is 11,070 kilometres.
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.
