On 19 November 2024, a Cargojet Airways Boeing 767-338 overran Runway 08L at Vancouver International Airport after a flap asymmetry warning. The aircraft struck approach lights and sank into muddy ground, coming to rest 1,250 feet beyond the pavement. It was significantly damaged.

Occurrence

On 19 November 2024, a Boeing 767-338 aircraft operated by Cargojet Airways Limited departed John C. Munro Hamilton International Airport (CYHM), Ontario, on a flight to Vancouver International Airport (CYVR), British Columbia. The aircraft carried two pilots and a jump seater.

During the descent, the crew observed an asymmetry flap warning. In response, they leveled off, notified air traffic control, and declared a PAN PAN. The crew completed the relevant checklist and prepared for a faster-than-normal approach and landing speed due to the slat problem.

On touchdown, the brakes were applied, and the thrust reverse handles were pulled, but neither engaged. The aircraft overran the end of Runway 08L at approximately 120 knots, striking numerous approach lights. It then sank into the muddy ground and came to rest approximately 1,250 feet beyond the paved surface.

Emergency Response

After the aircraft came to a stop, the crew declared a MAYDAY and completed the shutdown checklist. The crew and jump seater then exited the aircraft with the assistance of Air Rescue and Firefighting personnel.

Damage and Recovery

The aircraft was significantly damaged. It was recovered two days later. The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating the occurrence.
