Part of the second era of Airbus A320-200 aircraft in the Air Canada fleet, C-FZUB started with the airline in 2003. Earlier this year, the airplane had an issue with a leaky hydraulic line. We photographed this A320 on August 1, 2019 while plane spotting at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ).

C-FZUB
C-FZUB performed its first flight on January 21, 2003. The Airbus A320-214 was delivered to Air Canada on March 6, 2003. 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. This is currently one of 41 A320 models in the main fleet of this Canadian airline.
On February 12, 2016, C-FZUB was flying from Toronto, Ontario to Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. During the flight, a video display unit in the cabin started to smoke. The unit was unplugged and the smoke stopped. The flight continued to its destination for a safe landing.
Things got a bit tippy on September 27, 2018. This Airbus A320-200 was flying from Winnipeg, Manitoba to Toronto, Ontario. On the climb out of YWG, the autopilot had to be disconnected after reaching 20,000 feet due to a uncommanded bank. The aircraft was diverted back to Winnipeg for a safe landing. The culprit was a faulty rudder trim actuator, which was replaced.
On January 18, 2019, the airliner was flying from Montreal, Quebec to Vancouver, British Columbia. During the flight, the crew received HYD 2 LO LVL and Y ENG PUMP LO PR messages. The airplane was able to land safely at YVR and taxi to the terminal without assistance. It was found that a yellow hydraulic pressure line had sprung a leak and was subsequently replaced.
