Ontario (HRNW) An Air Canada Boeing 737-8 MAX flying from Arizona to Montreal with three crew members on board experienced an engine problem that forced it to land in Tucson, the airline said Friday.
Shortly after taking off on December 22 the pilots “received an engine notification and, according to the standard operating procedure for such a situation, they decided to shut down an engine,” Air Canada said in a statement written in French.
“The aircraft was rerouted to Tucson, where it landed normally and remains,” Air Canada said, without specifying the nature of the malfunction, which occurred during a non-commercial “positioning flight.”
According to the Belgian specialist site Aviation24.be, which first reported the emergency landing, the malfunction was due to a drop in hydraulic pressure in the left engine.
