C-FIVK
This Boeing 777-233LR made its first flight in January, 2008 and was delivered the same month to Air Canada. The airliner, based at Montreal’s Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport, is configured with 40 international business class seats, 24 premium economy seats and 236 more in economy class.
C-FIVK has been involved in some incidents over the past few years. On September 6, 2014, the plane was enroute from Toronto to Shanghai, China. Over Russia, the first officer became ill and was unable to perform his duties. The first officer was replaced by a member of the flight crew and the plane landed at its destination without further incident.
On February 5, 2015, the plane was traveling from Bridgetown, Barbados to Toronto, Ontario. A cargo smoke indication was reported just after takeoff. The Boeing 777-200LR returned to Bridgetown safely and no trace of fire, smoke or heat was found.
