Well, Air France still won’t send an Airbus A380 to Toronto so the biggest we’re going to see from this airline, at the moment, is the Boeing 777-300ER. F-GZNJ was spotted on June 8, 2017 at Toronto Pearson International Airport (YYZ) in Mississauga, Ontario.

Boeing 777-300ER
Air France was the first airline to fly the Boeing 777-300ER, first delivered in 2004. The original version of the 777 was introduced in 1995 with United Airlines. The ER stands for extended range and the 300ER can fly 2,500 more kilometres than the base 300 with a total flight range of 13,650 KM.
The Boeing 777-300ER is 242 feet or 74 metres in length, ten feet longer than the Boeing 747-400, with a wingspan of 213 feet or 65 metres. At the tail, the aircraft stands 19 metres or 61 feet in height, just slightly less than the 747-400. With the 747-400 models being phased out by many airlines worldwide, the 777-300ER is becoming the largest aircraft in a number of fleets.
