Toronto-bound Air Canada flight due to make emergency landing in Madrid
Air Canada says a Toronto-bound airplane is preparing to make an emergency landing at Madrid’s international airport due to an engine issue and reported tire rupture.Ignacio Montesinos, a spokesman for Spain’s airport operator, says the pilot radioed the tower citing an “emergency.”Flight-tracking website Flightradar24 shows the aircraft, which took off at about 3 p.m. local time, circling the airspace above Madrid for more than two and a half hours.
Madrid’s main airport faced problems earlier Monday, as Spanish authorities say Adolfo shut down for more than an hour after reported drone sightings, diverting 26 flights to other airports. Flight AC837 was bound for Toronto’s Pearson airport, which shows the arrival delayed by more than seven hours.
