The Canadian government eliminated the fixed market share of transcontinental flights for Air Canada in 1979. CP Air was able to expand their fleet and took delivery of fourteen new 737s during 1980 - 83. C-GCPZ was delivered on April 13, 1982 and carried on through mergers to Canadian Airlines, Air Canada and Zip Air. It was sold in December 2004 after Zip Air ceased flying in September. Sold to Nigerian based Chanchangi Airlines (5N-BEV) , it was withdrawn and stored in 2009. This photo is copyright © Gary Vincent, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
