C-FSEQ is part of the new direction for Air Canada. The Canadian airline is losing its older Airbus A320 family aircraft and their Embraer E190 models in favour for Boeing 737 MAX 8 airliners. We photographed this B38M while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) on October 7, 2018.
