We took these photos of C-FHOY earlier in 2018 and the Embraer ERJ-190 is still currently flying for Air Canada. Phase-outs have begun for this model so this E190’s days are numbered. We photographed the Embraer 190 on January 28, 2018 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

C-FHOY
C-FHOY was delivered to Air Canada on September 14, 2007. The Embraer 190 is configured for a maximum total of 97 passengers with nine seats in business class and 88 economy class seats. The totals are similar to other North American airlines that use this aircraft. JetBlue configures theirs for 100 seats while the Panama based Copa Airlines is slightly more roomier at a 94 passenger capacity.
On April 30, 2012, C-FHOY was flying from Los Angeles, California to Vancouver, British Columbia. On approach to YVR, crew decided to go around after experiencing a flaps malfunction. After a bit of conflict with a smaller DeHavilland Otter, the E190 was able to come in for a safe landing.
