Interestingly, these images were taken on April 12, 2015. This Airbus A320-200 (C-GQCA) was shuffled from Air Canada Jetz back to the regular Air Canada fleet in May, 2012. Yet, it seems Air Canada neglected to give it a makeover.
Jetz is a small division of Air Canada that serves corporate clients and pro sports teams in a charter capacity. Currently, there are just three Airbus A319’s in the fleet. This Airbus A320 was under the Jetz name for nearly a decade before being reconfigured and sent back to the parent airline.

C-GQCA
This airliner took its first flight way back in 1991. Originally, it was delivered to the now defunct Canadian Airlines. Since, it has been shuffled from Air Canada to Air Canada Tango to Air Canada Jetz and back again. It has been back under Air Canada since May, 2012.
With Jetz, the Airbus A320 was configured with 64 luxury business class seats. Now, back in regular service, it has been reconfigured with 14 business class and 132 economy class seats.
Just prior to leaving the Jetz fleet, the airplane was involved in an incident. On March 17, 2012, the Airbus A320 was carrying the Toronto Raptors of the NBA from Memphis, Tennessee to Charlotte, North Carolina. There were 48 on board.
The airplane rejected takeoff from Memphis after receiving a lavatory smoke ECAM warning. No trace of fire was found.
