The Boeing 767 era ends
On June 2, Air Canada operated its last Boeing 767, one of 48 aircraft that proved to be workhorses for almost 40 years, on AC439 from Montreal to Toronto.
The first of the 767s was delivered in 1982 (fin 601) and another 23 were added to the Air Canada fleet after the merger with Canadian Airlines in 2001. The wide body 767s also flew to destinations in Europe and the Caribbean with Air Canada Rouge.

FACTS ABOUT THE 767
• Air Canada Boeing 767 fin 682 (C-FCAE) registered over 138,000 flying hours before it was retired on Aug. 1, 2019, making it the world leader in terms of flying hours for the fleet type.
• The 767 was the first aircraft to receive 120-minute ETOPS (extended twin-engine operations) approval in 1985, meaning it could operate two hours away from the nearest airport, making oceanic crossings more efficient. This was increased to 180 minutes in 1988.
• The longest scheduled non-stop flight by an Air Canada 767 was Toronto to Tokyo, which lasted 13 hours and 45 minutes and covered 10,324 kilometres.
