An Amazon Prime Air Boeing 767 went off the end of Runway 08L in Vancouver.
The north runway at Vancouver International Airport in British Columbia is likely to be closed for 48 hours after a Boeing 767 freighter operated by Cargojet on behalf of Amazon Air overran the north runway during landing early Tuesday morning, the airport reported at 9:30 a.m. PST.
The airport authority, in a previous notice posted on its website, said the cargo jet skidded off the runway at about 1:45 a.m. local time. Fire and rescue teams responded to the incident. There were no injuries to the three crew members, the airport said on X.
The Boeing 767-338ER freighter (registration C-GAZI) performed a fast landing due to a problem with the aircraft’s flaps.
“Details of the aircraft condition are being assessed, and the senior executive team is closely monitoring developments to effectively manage the situation,” Cargojet said in a statement to FreightWaves. “Further details will be made available as more information is confirmed.”
