Manufactured in Brazil by Embraer, C-FXJF stayed close to home for its first few years. The Embraer ERJ-175 began life as PP-PJF in the fleet of TRIP Linhas Aereas. That airline ceased operations in 2014 and C-FXJF eventually made it’s way into the fleet of Sky Regional Airlines. Sky Regional operates flights on behalf of Air Canada.
