With C-GBIK, Aviationtag adds another remarkable Canada edition — and one built from an aircraft whose story goes far beyond regular passenger service. This Airbus A319-114, carrying manufacturer serial number 831, completed its first flight on May 7, 1998 and was delivered to Air Canada on May 29, 1998. That places it among the classic generation of A319 aircraft that helped shape short- and medium-haul flying in North America for many years.

What makes C-GBIK especially compelling is its later role. From September 2015, the aircraft served in Jetz configuration, a premium charter environment aimed at professional sports teams, entertainment groups, and corporate clients. That gave this A319 a very different kind of career trajectory: not just scheduled airline service, but a place in a far more exclusive travel setting. One documented example shows C-GBIK operating with the Montreal Canadiens on board.

Its most visible high-profile chapter came in 2021, when this exact aircraft appeared in the Canadian election campaign in “Trudeau 2021” markings. In that moment, C-GBIK was no longer just transporting people — it became part of a nationally visible political story. That blend of airline history, VIP-style flying, and special-mission relevance is exactly what gives this aircraft such unusual depth.

As an Aviationtag, this edition represents more than upcycled aircraft material. It carries the legacy of an Airbus A319 whose journey stretched from mainstream airline operations into the world of premium charter, professional sports travel, and political visibility. For collectors, C-GBIK is not simply another Canada edition — it is a piece of aviation history with real presence.

Note: Each tag in this edition is unique. The individual Aviationtags are made from original aircraft skin of an Airbus A319 and may vary in feel, material thickness, and color appearance. Minor imperfections, scratches, paint chips, and irregularities are completely normal in a product made from real aircraft material and give every Aviationtag its individual character. These traces are not caused by the production process but reflect the authentic condition of the original material used.

When using your tag as a keychain or luggage tag, we recommend the use of the Aviationtag protective cover.

Airbus A319 / C-GBIK: C-GBIK is an Airbus A319-114 built by the European manufacturer Airbus S.A.S. and completed its first flight on May 7, 1998. The Airbus A319 is a twin-engine short- to medium-haul narrow-body aircraft and part of the highly successful A320 family. It was developed for routes requiring less capacity than the A320, while retaining many of the defining features of the family, including digital fly-by-wire controls and the characteristic side sticks. C-GBIK spent many years in Canadian passenger service before later being used in a premium configuration for special charter operations, including flights linked to professional sports teams and political campaign travel. This edition therefore represents not only authentic upcycled aircraft material, but also a particularly versatile chapter of modern aviation history.
