Occurrence
On 4 March 2019, a Boeing 767-300 series aircraft operated by Air Canada was conducting a flight from Toronto’s Lester B. Pearson International Airport, Ontario, to Halifax Stanfield International Airport, Nova Scotia. After landing, the wind pushed the aircraft as it was travelling over a slippery section of the runway. This caused the nose wheel to enter a snow ridge on the edge of the runway.
Response
The 8 crew members and 211 passengers were taken to the terminal by bus. The aircraft was towed to the apron for retrieval of luggage. There was no damage to the aircraft, and no injuries were reported by the passengers or crew.
Investigation
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada conducted a class 4 investigation into the occurrence. Class 4 investigations are limited in scope and do not contain findings or recommendations. The investigation was generally completed within 220 days.
