Air Canada plane catches fire during landing at Halifax Airport (video)

An Air Canada flight, operating as AC2259 under PAL Airlines, skidded off the runway and partially caught fire at Halifax Stanfield International Airport in Nova Scotia, Canada, on Sunday.

The flight was en route from St. John’s to Halifax. Initial reports indicated that a malfunction in the aircraft’s landing gear led to the incident. Thankfully, there have been no immediate reports of casualties.

As a precaution, Halifax airport was temporarily shut down following the accident, with emergency services responding promptly to the scene.

The incident occurred just hours after a deadly plane crash in South Korea. At Muan International Airport, a passenger plane with 181 people on board crashed, killing 85 individuals.

Many others are feared dead. The crash is being considered one of the worst aviation disasters in the country’s history.

Emergency officials reported that the aircraft’s landing gear malfunctioned, which is believed to have been a key factor in the accident. The National Fire Agency of South Korea confirmed that 85 people were found dead, and authorities are still investigating the cause of the crash.

Both incidents have raised concerns over landing gear malfunctions in aviation, prompting authorities to launch investigations into the causes of these failures. The air travel community is awaiting further updates on the situation in both Canada and South Koera.
