C-FXCA
C-FXCA took its first flight on April 5, 1990 and was delivered to Canadian Airlines on April 27, 1990. The Boeing 767-375ER was transferred to Air Canada on March 29, 2001 after Canadian was acquired by the larger airline.

One of ten Boeing 767-300ER aircraft in the main Air Canada fleet, it is joined by 24 more in the Air Canada Rouge fleet. This airliner is configured for a maximum total of 211 passengers with 24 seats in business class and 187 more in economy class.
On September 29, 2014, C-FXCA was flying from Toronto, Ontario to Zurich, Switzerland. On final approach, the B763 had to abort the landing twice after losing autoland on both occasions. The auto pilot was a necessity with low visibility. The aircraft was diverted to Geneva, Switzerland for a safe landing. With a delay of eight hours, the aircraft did finally reach its proper destination.
On October 8, 2016, the Boeing 767-300ER was flying from Milan, Italy to Toronto. The takeoff was ejected at a speed of 90 knots because the pilot’s analog airspeed indicator was not functioning. The airspeed indicator was replaced and the flight was rescheduled for the following day with a delay of 21 hours.
