Air Transat ferried one of its A330s to the west of Ireland at the end of April, with Airbus A330-243 C-GUFR (c/n 251) operating a positioning flight from Montreal to Ireland West Airport, under flight number TSC40, arrived at 17:18 local time on 30 April.
According to Planespotters.net, the airframe traces its origins back more than a quarter century. It first flew from Toulouse on 26 January 1999 under the test registration F-WWKO and was subsequently delivered to Emirates as A6-EKR on 31 March that year.
The aircraft joined Air Transat in April 2016 as C-GUFR and remained on the carrier’s books through April 2026. During that period, it was temporarily sub-leased to both Condor and Thomas Cook Airlines, operating as G-TCCG across 2018 and 2019, before returning to Air Transat service in May 2019.
