Weeping Windows

C-GEGI, an Airbus A330-343, on approach to runway 24R at Toronto Pearson International Airport in Mississauga, Ontario. It was arriving as ACA7217 (Air Canada) from Madrid, Spain.

 

This is one of three A330-300s that Air Canada had converted into dedicated freighters during the COVID-19 pandemic. 255 of its 285 passenger seats were removed and cargo zones were established throughout the cabin. The 30 expensive J-class seats remained in place under protective coverings.

 

The mascara-like lines running down from the cabin windows is an appropriate metaphor for the financial damage being wreaked upon the global airline industry by the pandemic.
