I can see the wingtip fence so it must be an A310. Also, the windows are just not Boeing!

Without a doubt, A310. A couple of give-aways: tail cone exhaust set-up & window shape.
Ding! You are now free to keep supporting Frontier.

A search here reveals no 757's or A300's for Royal, pretty conclusive: A310.

Look closely at this plane.
Engines on a 757 are pretty much flat in the rear end and don't have that funny cone thing like on the A-310. also you can see part of the wingtip fence just aft of the 737.

All the USair planes from Canjet and Royal are heading to Edmonton. Most likely to the paint shop. I hear they have a good facility and good prices in Edmonton.
Remember! She will fly over gross but not out of gas!

What I heard was that they were on the way to Winnipeg, and that is where Royal and Canjet had their aircraft configured in the past. Whether this is just a coincidence, I don't know.
Stay tuned ...
"it's kind of like an Airbus, it's an engineering marvel, but there's no sense of passion" -- J. Clarkson re: Coxster
25 Vref: I have a friend from Canjet who will be flying one of the aircraft and he has been told that all 10 airplanes are going to Edmonton. Even the Royal ai
26 Mr AirNZ: The emergency exit in the middle of the plane gives it away, its an A310-300.
27 Cessnapimp: Did he tell you why they are going to Edmonton? Is it in preparation for the April opening of Royal II? (still sketchy)
28 9V-SVE: A310 because of tail, winglet, and it looks like a widebody.
29 Red Panda: A310 for sure. It has airbus-style winglets. r panda
30 Vref: Hey there cessnapimp. They are not told of the reason for the trip to Edmonton. They are just basicly contracted to fly the trip by USair.
32 Vref: Hey N766UA Did you look at the pic at the beginning of the page? A310 all the way.
33 9V-SVA: It is an A310. It has a door on the wing, which the 757s dont. 9V-SVA
34 Captaingomes: Oh boy, it's final. It's an A310! I don't know how anybody, assuming they've actually read the other posts, can still think it's a 757. My mother coul
35 Captaingomes: Vref, did you get any info as to why Edmonton though??? I'm sure the pilots flying there must know something. USAir wouldn't fly the aircraft to Edmon
37 Canadian747: A310 by the window frames and the landing gears
38 CYLW: In doing some searching for the ex-Canjet planes, the TC database shows that most if not all the ex Canjet and Royal 737s are now owned by a company i
39 Traveler: Hello! I think it is an Airbus- A 310 Traveler
40 Rootsgirl: Could they be going to that new airline Canada West?
41 Layitontheline: Canada West will be using B752 equip exclusively.
42 Captaingomes: I have emailed the company, but honestly, I don't know if that will work. If I do get a reply back, I will share it with you all. Sounds interesting t
43 Cessnapimp: Canada West Airlines Inc. is only starting in December in YVR with two 752's. Charter only.
44 EGGD: It is 110% an A310, the wingtip, shape of the wing, undercarriage, width and height of the fuselage, shape of the tail, the engines, length from the w
45 Boeing747-700: A310-300 you can see part of the Wing tip that the A300/310 share!!!
47 N766UA: Hey whatta ya know. In the small pic I'd swear it's a 757 but after I look at it in the big one there's the winglet! My bad!
48 Fritzi: 1000% A310. Compare the two landing gear doors. The A310 and B752 landing gear doors are pretty different. Fritzi
49 Peterba69: It's me again. I looked at the search feature here just for Royal, they have A310's (GE CF6's), 757's (RR -535's), and 737s. The plane has CF6's, and
50 Captaingomes: Let me correct you Peterba69 Royal HAD those aircraft. hehehe. Royal is no longer, until of course, they return to the skies in April. hehehe.
51 Slawko: Looks like parsonage is an Aircraft broker, the transport site lists operators not owners, USAir still owns all of those(Canjet) planes, and the IMP g
52 Vref: You are right Slawko. It is cheaper to have the planes in YEG than to leave them i YYZ YHZ etc. That company in Edmonton will take care of the planes
53 Cessnapimp: Who operates what Ex-CJ planes: As previously mentioned, they're all now "operated" by Structures Unlimited. Ex-Royal: FJLB disappeared from the face
54 Vref: Where to start. First of all this Structures Unlimited is paying USAir one dollar a month. Why you ask? USAir keeps the planes in Canadian reg. It is
55 Cessnapimp: Wow, thanks, you're informed I'm trying to figure out what's going on in Montreal so I can try to bring my C.V. for F/A as fast as I can if Royal star
56 Captaingomes: Cessnapimp, honestly if you want to be an F/A your best bets are with Air Transat and SkyService. Or if you are willing to move to Calgary, then you c
57 Fallingeese: Westjet is hiring. Try filling out an application on the web for them. They hire highly motivated people, adn you can be stationed in the worlds great
58 Captaingomes: Calgary is definitely up there on my list of favourite cities! I would do anything right now for a Calgary layover I miss the hotel, the pool in the l
