Gimli Glider is parked

From the Canadian Aviation news . . . .

[QUOTE]

In an effort to keep the "growth" factor at zero per cent this year Air Canada has started to withdraw aircraft from use. The first aircraft this year is a 767-233 (C-GAUN - FIN604) which made its last revenue flight on January 7th from YYZ to YUL and is now in storage. More 767-200s are expected to follow over the next few months. Air Canada is expecting delivery this summer of 4 new A330-300s and 4 new 767-300s which will add quite a few seats to the fleet. This will mean that other aircraft types will have to be withdrawn, such as DC-9s and 737s to compensate. Later on in the year 3 new A319s and five new A321s are to be added, although some of these delivery positions may slide, subject to negotiation with Airbus Industrie and the lessors.
