C-FIVX
C-FIVX performed its maiden flight on July 19, 2013. The Boeing 777-300ER was delivered to Air Canada on August 12, 2013. One of 19 B77W aircraft in the main fleet of this Canadian airline, this model is configured for a maximum total of 450 passengers. The very dense of two different configurations, there are 28 Signature Class seats, 24 more in premium economy and a knee busting 450 in economy class.
This Boeing 777-300ER has an exemplary safety record, to date. However, on May 6, 2018, the airliner had to be diverted during an overseas flight. Flying from Toronto, Ontario to Rome, Italy, a member of the flight crew became incapacitated.
This occurred while flying at 33,000 feet over the Atlantic Ocean, about 720 miles from London, England. It was decided to divert the flight to London Heathrow Airport. After a four hour delay, the flight continued on to its planned destination.
