Boeing 737 Makes Emergency Landing at Montréal-Mirabel Airport Following Gear Malfunction (Video)

on

Montréal, QC — A Nolinor Aviation Boeing 737-408, registration C-GGWX, was involved in an emergency landing at Montréal–Mirabel International Airport (YMX) on Wednesday, November 27, 2024. The aircraft, operating as Flight NRL662, experienced a left-hand main landing gear collapse upon touchdown, resulting in substantial damage but no reported injuries among the 87 occupants onboard.

Incident Overview

The flight departed from Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport (YQB) at 14:58 UTC, bound for Bagotville Airport (YBG). At approximately 15:23 UTC, the crew aborted their approach to Bagotville after a fault indication. Following an assessment, the flight was initially directed back to Québec City but was ultimately diverted to Montréal–Mirabel, chosen for its longer runway.

Landing occurred at 16:24 UTC under flapless conditions. During the touchdown on runway 24, the No. 1 engine nacelle struck the runway surface, and the aircraft slid to a stop after the collapse of the left-hand main gear.

Damage and Investigation

Photos and videos captured from the scene show the aircraft resting on its left side. There are indications of significant structural damage to the engine nacelle and left-hand landing gear assembly. Investigators are focusing on whether the issue stemmed from a gear extension or locking fault or a potential shimmy-related failure.

The aircraft, manufactured in 1990, is powered by two CFMI CFM56-3 engines. It was performing a scheduled passenger service when the incident occurred.

Response and Passenger Safety

Emergency response teams promptly assisted passengers and crew. Despite the dramatic nature of the landing, all 87 occupants disembarked safely, with no reported injuries.

Investigative Measures

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) has deployed a team to investigate the circumstances leading to the incident. Preliminary findings indicate that the landing was conducted without flaps, a decision likely influenced by the fault detected earlier during the flight. The lack of clarity regarding the cause of the gear failure will be a primary focus for investigators.

Context

This event highlights the importance of Montréal–Mirabel International Airport's capacity to accommodate emergency situations, given its longer runways compared to other nearby facilities.
