A small commercial airplane was forced to return to Pearson International Airport after its crew reported a mechanical error shortly after takeoff Tuesday morning.
Emergency personnel were on standby as a precaution when the Dash 8 plane, an Air Canada flight operated by Jazz, made the landing shortly before 8 a.m.
Jazz Aviation spokesperson Manon Stuart said the plane developed a problem with one of its hydraulic systems shortly after takeoff.
The plane was en route to Baltimore.
Because Dash 8 planes are equipped with multiple hydraulic systems, an emergency was never declared, Stuart told CP24.
Passengers were never at risk, the airline said.
No injuries were reported.
