C-FHKP
C-FHKP was first delivered to Air Canada on December 21, 2006. The Embraer 190 is configured for a maximum total of 97 passengers with nine seats in business class, 20 more in premium economy and 68 economy class seats. This is currently one of 25 E190 airliners in the main Air Canada fleet.
Back on October 24, 2011, the ERJ-190AR experienced what seems to be its only somewhat serious incident, to date. Flying from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Montreal, Quebec, crew received an indication of a possible flaps malfunction while enroute. The flight continued to YUL for a safe landing, albeit at a higher than normal speed.
