AN Air Canada plane carrying 138 people from Kingston, Jamaica, to Canada had to make an emergency landing at the Lynden Pindling International Airport yesterday after smoke was observed in the cockpit of the plane.
No one was injured, according to Captain Delvin Major, an investigator and inspector in charge at the Civil Aviation Department.
The Air Canada Rouge plane was flying over New Providence when crew heard a noise, then noticed the smoke. The noise came from the area of the plane’s avionics, he said.
The crew immediately adhered to its emergency checklist, allowing it to prevent a fire from erupting.
After landing, passengers remained on board for some time as the Nassau Airport Development (NAD) company made arrangements for them to be accommodated in a secure area while they waited to board a replacement aircraft.
