JAKARTA - An Air Canada airline made an emergency landing at Halifax Stanfield International Airport, Canada after suffering damage to landing gear on Saturday night, December 28, local time.

Air Canada 2259 flight departing from St International Airport. John's, had a landing problem at 9:30 AST (0130 GMT Sunday) which caused the plane to slip and a fire broke out on the engine.

Reported by VOI from ANTARA, Sunday, December 29, the incident sparked a quick response from the emergency team to ensure the safety of all passengers on board, according to several media reports.

One of the passengers, Nikki Valentine, told CBC News that one of the aircraft tires was not working well on landing.

"The plane started tilting about 20 degrees to the left, and when that happened, we heard a loud noise that almost sounded like a collision sound as the plane's wings began slipping on the asphalt, along with the engines," he said.

After landing, all passengers were evacuated and taken to the hangar for inspection by paramedics. No casualties were reported in the incident.

As a precaution, all flights at Halifax Airport were temporarily suspended after the incident. As of early Sunday, December 29, one runway has been reopened.
