C-FIUL
C-FIUL performed its first flight on June 22, 2007 and was delivered to Air Canada on June 29, 2007. One of 19 in the main fleet, the Boeing 777-333ER is configured for a maximum total of 400 passengers with 40 seats in business class, 24 more in premium economy and 336 economy class seats.
On August 13, 2017, C-FIUL was flying from Toronto, Ontario to Shanghai, China. Cruising at 32,000 feet, near Fairbanks, Alaska, smoke was detected in the cabin. The recirculation fans were suspected and, indeed, seemed to be the culprit as the smoke dissipated after they were shut down. The flight continued to Shanghai for a safe landing some eight and a half hours later. As a result, the lower left and right circulation fans were replaced.

Boeing 777-300ER
The Boeing 777-300ER was first delivered to launch customer Air France in 2004, nearly a decade after the initial 777 variant was introduced with United Airlines in 1995. The ER is for ‘extended range’ and this aircraft can fly a lofty 13,650 kilometres between stops.
The B77W is 74 metres or 242 feet in length with a wingspan of 65 metres or 213 feet. At the tail, the airliner is 19 metres or 61 feet in height. Though not the most glamorous of the big airplanes, the Boeing 777-300ER is longer than both the Boeing 747-400 (by 10 feet) and Airbus A380-800 (by 3 feet).
