An Air Canada flight veered off the runway after landing at Montreal-Trudeau International Airport on Thursday afternoon, causing operational delays at the airport.
In a statement to CTV News, Air Canada said no injuries are reported.
“Flight AC774 arriving from LAX on July 9, 2026 landed normally at Montreal International Airport, then sustained a runway excursion and travelled through the grass when exiting the main runway,” according to the statement.
Air Canada says there were 156 passengers and six crew aboard the flight.
The airline confirmed at 7:37 p.m. on social media platform X that all passengers and crew had been deplaned and are in the terminal.
The airline says the aircraft will be towed to the hangar where a full inspection will take place.
An investigation into this incident is underway.
Runway closure at Montreal airport
According to the Montreal airport, the emergency coordination centre has been activated at the airport, resulting in the temporarily closure of the North Runway.
“To facilitate the safe evacuation of passengers, the North Runway has been temporarily closed, which may result in operational delays,” said Émilie Chevrette, corporate communications advisor for the airport.
“Passengers are encouraged to check the status of their flights before travelling to YUL.”
