Moving toward 30 years in the skies, UR-GEC most likely won’t celebrate that anniversary with Ukraine International Airlines. This Boeing 767-300ER, and the other three in the UIA fleet, are slated to be phased out over 2019 and 2020. We photographed this B763 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on March 9, 2019.
