Columbian 767-300ER C-GCLK

Columbian first ordered the 767 in 1989.
In total, the airline has operated 41 of the type. 11 remain in service.
Out of these, 34 were -300ERs, and 7 were -200ERs.
All 11 767s that remain in service are the -300ER variant.
The airline was scheduled to retire all of its 767s by 2018, however due to 787 engine issues and the global pandemic, the 767 will continue for at least a few more years.

This aircraft, C-GCLK, was the 720th 767 produced.
It is currently based at Calgary (YYC)
-CLK is most commonly used on flights to the UK and the Caribbean, including airports such as Punta Cana, Bridgetown, Miami, Cancun, and St-Maarten.



    don't the 767-300s have the two overwing window exits? 

     

    Like it. good to see a 767. (one of my favorite planes)

    the 767 has different configs, the most common 767 version does but not this variant

    oh. that makes sense

    The name troubles me, I understand it's connections to BC, however the average consumer would think that Columbian is an airline from Columbia.

    Still not bad

    Doesn't Columbia refer to Cascadia, in a sense? I don't know anything else named Columbia.

     

    The closest thing I can think of is Colombia, a South American country.

    Columbia is also the female personification of the United States, and DC also stands for District of Columbia in Washington, DC.

    In the context of this airline, the name Columbia is related to British Columbia (where the airline is based) and the historical region of Columbia - in modern day Oregon, Idaho, Washington and BC.
