A temporary halt to all flight operations occurred at Halifax Stanfield International Airport on Saturday night due to an aircraft incident. An Air Canada Express flight operated by Pal Airlines, arriving from St. John's, Newfoundland, encountered a suspected landing gear problem upon landing. The aircraft was unable to reach the terminal, leading to the bus off-loading of the crew and 73 passengers. While the Air Canada spokesperson reported no injuries on board, a Nova Scotia RCMP spokesperson stated minor injuries were reported. Airport operations were suspended until clearance was given for airfield operations to resume, with one runway now back in regular use. The cause of the incident is currently under investigation.
