The Transportation Safety Board (TSB) of Canada has launched an investigation into a hard landing incident involving WestJet flight 2276, which occurred at Princess Juliana International Airport in Sint Maarten on Sunday around 1 p.m. ET.
According to the TSB, the investigation will focus on determining the cause of the hard landing and will likely include a review of the emergency response, deployment of foam, and use of slides during the evacuation of the flight. The TSB also confirmed that it will gather information about the incident and assess its occurrence.
WestJet has confirmed that all crew and passengers were safely evacuated from the flight. The airline also confirmed that all guests on WestJet flight 2276 are accounted for. No reported injuries have occurred as a result of the hard landing incident. Foam was deployed as a precaution during the incident.
The TSB's investigation will also likely involve a review of WestJet's procedures and protocols related to hard landing incidents. It's worth noting that the TSB does not assign fault or determine civil or criminal liability in its investigations.
The TSB's investigation into the hard landing of WestJet flight 2276 is ongoing. WestJet has confirmed that emergency services responded immediately to the incident, and no further details about injuries or damage have been provided by either WestJet or the TSB.
Slides were active during the evacuation of the flight, which was carried out smoothly. The Transportation Safety Board's investigation findings will likely provide more details about the cause of the hard landing of WestJet flight 2276.
Meanwhile, the responsible local authorities in Sint Maarten are also conducting an investigation into the incident, which involved the collapse of the right main landing gear during landing. The TSB will work closely with these authorities to gather all necessary information.
Passengers were taken to the terminal following the evacuation, and WestJet has since provided assistance to those in need. The airline is cooperating fully with the TSB's investigation and will provide updates as more information becomes available.
