Well, it seems C-GJWO is our 15th Air Canada Airbus A321-200 to be featured at the site. Why is this significant? Air Canada has 15 of these aircraft in their main fleet. We photographed this A321 on August 1, 2019 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

C-GJWO
C-GJWO performed its first flight on August 27, 2002. The Airbus A321-211 was delivered to Air Canada on September 26, 2002. This airliner is configured for a maximum total of 190 passengers. There are 16 seats in business class and 174 economy class seats. This is one of 15 Airbus A321-200 models in the main fleet.
On January 15, 2018, this airplane was flying from Toronto, Ontario to Vancouver, British Columbia. The initial climb out of YYZ was stopped at 26,000 feet after a hydraulic failure. The aircraft was diverted back to Toronto for a safe landing using an alternate gear extension. As a result, leaking green hydraulic line was replaced.
