Air Canada announced that one of its flights from Toronto to Paris faced an engine problem shortly after takeoff and had to land back at Pearson Airport.
The airline said that the flight reported an engine issue shortly after departure and returned to Toronto, with 389 passengers on board the Boeing 777, according to Global News.


According to flight data, the aircraft departed Wednesday around 8:45 PM and returned to Pearson Airport at 9:50 PM.

Air Canada said in a statement: "After the aircraft landed, it was inspected by airport response vehicles according to normal operating procedures and proceeded to the gate on its own." The Toronto airport authority stated that the fire department was at the ready for the aircraft after it landed safely.


A video showed what appeared to be the aircraft with an orange flashing light coming from it.


Air Canada stated that the aircraft would be taken out of service for assessment by maintenance staff and engineers. The company added that passengers were placed on another aircraft. The flight was then rescheduled to depart on Thursday.


This is the second time in about two weeks that an Air Canada aircraft has left Pearson Airport and returned shortly after takeoff due to engine problems, as a flight from Toronto to Delhi on May 27 also faced an engine issue and had to return to Pearson Airport.
