With C-GVDP, it seems to be a new method of marketing for Air Canada. The Canadian airline has joined forces with Disney Pixar for a special livery on this Airbus A220-300. Although other airlines have promoted movies, I believe this is the first for this airline.
We photographed this BCS3 on March 18, 2022 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).
