Re: Air Transat News and Discussion Thread - 2022

Yesterday, 7/26, TS took delivery of another A321neo, C-GOIP.

As of now, their fleet consist of 31 aircraft, including:

- 7 A321-200
- 12 A321neo
- 11 A330-200
- 1 A330-300

A330-200 C-GUFR is their current oldest aircraft as it was first delivered to EK in March 1999 and joined TS in April 2016.

There're two reasons for that. No deregulation yet and distinction through onboard service and experience, thanks to regulation.
