At the time of publishing this article, C-FNAN was one of 21 Embraer ERJ-190 aircraft in the main Air Canada fleet. This number is down from 25 not long ago with more to retired in the near future. We photographed this E190 on June 8, 2018 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

C-FNAN
C-FNAN was delivered to Air Canada on December 14, 2007 and is currently one of 21 Embraer ERJ-190 airliners in the main fleet of the Canadian airline. The airplane is configured for a maximum total of 97 passengers with eight seats in business class and 88 economy class seats.
On August 31, 2017, C-FNAN had a bit of a fowl problem on a flight from Toronto, Ontario to Chicago, Illinois. On the initial climb, at 7,000 feet, the E190 ran into a flock of birds. The co-pilot’s windshield was struck and another bird was sucked into engine number 2. Following the impact, an odour filled the cabin and, at that point, an emergency was declared. The Embraer 190 diverted back to YYZ for a safe landing. The engine was flushed of the substantial amount of bird parts and both circulation filters in the air conditioning systems were replaced.
