A flight from St. John’s to Halifax had problems with its landing gear and caught fire while landing at Halifax Stanfield International Airport Saturday night.

It happened on an Air Canada flight operated by St. John’s-based PAL Airlines. Multiple photos and videos were posted to social media after the incident forced the closure of the airport.

Halifax Stanfield Airport released the following statement on Facebook:

“At approximately 9:30 p.m. on Dec. 28, Air Canada Express Flight 2259 operated by PAL Airlines experienced an aircraft incident upon arrival in Halifax from St. John’s, N.L.
