Air Canada rouge (RV, Toronto Pearson) took delivery of its maiden A321-200 (sl) - C-FJOK (cn 6844) - on November 2 following a ferry flight routed Hamburg Finkenwerder-Reykjavik Keflavik-Toronto Pearson.
The twinjet is the first of five on order from Airbus (AIB, Toulouse Blagnac) and is scheduled to be deployed on daily flights from Montréal Trudeau to Las Vegas Harry Reid and Fort Lauderdale International later this year.
