A jet carrying 93 people landed safely on Thursday evening after an engine started smoking and had to return to the Ottawa International Airport.
Just before 9 p.m. on Dec. 1, Ottawa Fire Services were called to the airport because the jet had experienced a “vibration” in one of its engines after take-off.
Fire fighters were escorted to inspect the plane once it had landed. The engine was smoking, but had not caught fire.
Airport officials suspected a “possible bird strike” as the cause of the problem.
Ottawa Fire’s hazardous materials team responded as a precaution, but were not needed.
Only 10 hours before the incident, a National Research Council turbo prop plane carrying two pilots and six researchers landed at the Ottawa Airport with only one engine after the plane’s RPM measurements stopped working.
The pilots shut down the engine as a precaution and plane landed safely around 11 a.m.
There were no injuries in either incident.
