A Little Bit of History Passes

[Greg Hyde]

For those who are old enough to remember ....

After the Ansett collapse Qantas leased B763's from Air Canada to cover the extra flights. These aircraft are now being retired;

Boeing 767 -375 24575 311 C-FOCA Air Canada ferried 04jun20 YUL-MZJ for storage

Those Air Canada aircraft what routes did they operate on and how long did they fly for?

[Greg Hyde]

Initially flew international routes and then domestic.

Leased from October 2001 to Jan/Feb 2002, varied per aircraft.
