Air Canada Express Flight From Lethbridge Makes Emergency Landing in Calgary

Jul 12, 2016 | 10:54 AM

CALGARY – An Air Canada Express flight from Lethbridge had to make an emergency landing at the Calgary International Airport when concerns surfaced that the front landing gear had not locked in place.

Flight AC-7212 requested emergency crews be on standby upon arrival in Calgary around 7;00 a.m. today.

The plane, carrying 15 passengers, circled the airport to burn off extra fuel before coming in.

Air Canada says the aircraft landed safely on its main landing gear, but the nose wheel collapsed when it came to a stop.

No one was hurt and the passengers were bussed to the terminal.
