TORONTO, April 21 (Reuters) - A small Air Canada AC.TO
passenger plane was damaged while landing late on Wednesday in
the eastern province of Newfoundland and Labrador, and three
passengers were taken to hospital, the airline said on Thursday.
Two of the passengers were released from hospital Wednesday,
the airline said in a statement, and one is expected to be
released on Thursday.
The flight, carrying 14 passengers and two crew, sustained
damage to its landing gear as it set down at Gander
International Airport, Air Canada said.
The flight came from Goose Bay, another community in the
province, and was part of Air Canada Express, operated on behalf
of the airline by the local firm Exploits Valley Air Services.
One passenger said the weather was snowy and windy during
the landing, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. The
broadcaster posted a picture showing the plane resting on its
front with a broken nose cone.
An Air Canada spokesman declined further comment.
The airline's statement said the passengers walked off the
aircraft and those not taken to hospital were provided hotel
accommodation for the night.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating
the incident, Air Canada said.
