C-FNNU
C-FNNU performed its maiden flight on November 21, 2013 and was delivered to Air Canada on December 19, 2013. One of 19 in the fleet, the Boeing 777-333ER is configured for a maximum total of 450 passengers. There are 28 seats in business class, 24 more in premium economy and a cramped 398 economy class seats.
Last year, on June 15, 2017, C-FNNU was flying from Rome, Italy to Toronto, Ontario. At 32,000 feet, 120 miles south of Frankfurt, Germany, crew detected the smell of smoke in the cabin. The B77W was diverted to Frankfurt for a safe landing. After being on the ground for two hours, the flight was continued to its planned destination without further incident.
Boeing 777-300ER
The Boeing 777-300ER was first delivered to launch customer Air France in 2004, nearly a decade after the initial 777 variant was introduced with United Airlines in 1995. The ER is for ‘extended range’ and this aircraft can fly a lofty 13,650 kilometres between stops.
The B77W is 74 metres or 242 feet in length with a wingspan of 65 metres or 213 feet. At the tail, the airliner is 19 metres or 61 feet in height. Though not the most glamorous of the big airplanes, the Boeing 777-300ER is longer than both the Boeing 747-400 (by 10 feet) and Airbus A380-800 (by 3 feet).
