C-GJDA was first delivered to Emirates in 1998, the first year of deliveries for the Airbus A330-200. The Air Transat A332 is currently sporting a very basic, but elegant, livery. We photographed this airliner on August 1, 2019 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

C-GJDA
C-GJDA performed its first flight on December 18, 1998. The Airbus A330-243 was delivered to Emirates on March 10, 1999 as A6-EKQ. Emirates retired the aircraft on December, 2015 and the airliner joined Air Transat’s fleet on April 18, 2016.
Over the winter months of 2018-19, the Airbus A330-200 moved to Europe to fly for Thomas Cook UK and Condor. C-GJDA has been back with Air Transat since April 1, 2019.
This airplane is configured for a maximum total of 332 passengers. There are 12 seats in ‘Club’ class or premium economy, along with 320 economy class seats.
Back with Emirates on October 17, 2011, the A332 ran into some problems on a flight from Dubai, United Arab Emirates to Kolkata, India. On the climb out of Dubai, the descent was halted at 27,000 feet due to a loss in cabin pressure. The aircraft was diverted back to Dubai for a safe landing. A replaced A332 was brought in to continue the flight.
On April 24, 2017, C-GJDA was flying from Montreal, Quebec to Cancun, Mexico. Cruising at 38,000 feet, near Jacksonville, Florida, a computer used by the cabin crew began to smoke. The computer was dumped in water and the smoke, obviously, ceased. The flight continued to its destination without further incident.
On a flight from Paris, France to Vancouver, British Columbia, this Airbus A330-200 had a collision with a flying animal. On the climb out of Charles de Gaulle Airport, a bird was ingested by the right side engine. The climb was stopped at 10,000 feet and the aircraft returned safely to its point of departure. The result was a damaged fan blade.
