C-FNVV is one of the few remaining remnants of Canadian Airlines. The Airbus A320-200 started with that airline in 1994 and switched to Air Canada in 2001. We photographed this A320 on August 22, 2020 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

C-FNVV
C-FNVV performed its first flight in 1993. The Airbus A320-211 was delivered to Canadian Airlines on January 25, 1994. The aircraft was then transferred to Air Canada on April 4, 2001. This is one of 35 currently in the fleet with 21 slated for retirement by the end of 2020.
This airliner is configured for a maximum total of 146 passengers. There are 14 seats in business class, 36 more in premium economy and 96 economy class seats.
On June 5, 2019, this airplane was flying from New York’s La Guardia Airport to Toronto, Ontario. Cruising at 22,000 feet near Syracuse, New York, loud noises were heard in the cabin duct work. The flight continued to Toronto for a safe landing. The cause of the noise was found to be a broken #1 downstream valve which was replaced.
Later that summer, on August 12, 2019, C-FNVV was flying from Toronto to Calgary, Alberta. During the flight, crew received multiple messages in regards to low fluid levels in the yellow hydraulic system. The flight was continued to Calgary for a safe landing. It was determined that the yellow hydraulic HP manifold was leaky and was replaced.
