"Ship 638 was originally delivered to Canadian Airlines on April 25, 1989. Air Canada inherited the aircraft after its merger with Canadian in January 2001. The plane was powered by two General Electric CF6-80C2 engines. The aircraft also had ETOPS-180 capabilities meaning that it could fly 180 minutes or 3 hours away from the nearest diversion airport. This gave the airline the ability to fly direct from Vancouver to Sydney with a stopover in Honolulu to refuel and change flight crew. Today, the route is operated nonstop with the Boeing 777-200LR. As of March 2020, the aircraft had flown more than 137,100 hours and completed near 24,400 takeoffs and landings in its 31.1 years of service."
