C-FIUR
C-FIUR performed its first flight on July 11, 2007 and was delivered to Air Canada on July 27, 2007. 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. This is one of 19 B77W models in the main fleet.
Back on April 3, 2009, C-FIUR was flying from Toronto, Ontario to Tokyo, Japan. Shortly after taking off from YYZ, the crew experienced flap problems. After dumping fuel, the Boeing 777-300ER returned to Toronto for a safe landing. The passengers were transferred to a Boeing 777-200LR, registered C-FNNH.
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).
