The Transportation Safety Board of Canada says they are investigating an aircraft incident at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport that caused temporary delays to all flight operations Saturday night.
Halifax Stanfield International Airport spokesperson Tiffany Chase says in a statement that at approximately 9:30 p.m. Saturday, an Air Canada Express flight operated by PAL Airlines arriving from St. John's, N.L., experienced an incident upon arrival.
According to a statement from Air Canada spokesperson Peter Fitzpatrick, the plane carrying 73 passengers experienced a "suspected landing gear issue" after arrival Saturday night and the aircraft was unable to reach the terminal, and passengers were off-loaded by bus.
Fitzpatrick says nobody on board was injured, but a spokesperson from the Nova Scotia RCMP, who responded to the incident alongside paramedics, says minor injuries were reported.
According to a post on “X” from the Halifax Stanfield International Airport, flights are operating as of 10 a.m. Sunday morning but weather conditions may result in some delays as one of the two runways remains closed.
Travellers are being encouraged to check their flight status directly with their airline or on the airports website before leaving.
