C-GWVB
C-GWVB performed its first flight on January 22, 2012. The Boeing 737-8K5 was delivered to Thomson Airways on February 6, 2012 as G-TAWB. Not long after, Thomson evolved into TUI Airways. This B738 is configured for a maximum total of 189 passengers, all in a single class set-up.
Since, the aircraft has been leased to Sunwing for the winter months in 2015, 2017 and 2019. It was last delivered to the Canadian charter airline on December 16, 2019. It returned to Birmingham, England on a flight from Toronto, Ontario on March 25, 2020. As of the time of publishing this article, the airliner has not flown since.
