Plane Lands At Sarnia Airport On One Engine

Six passengers on an Air Georgian plane bound from Toronto to Sarnia got a scare Monday morning but thankfully nothing more.

The 18 seat, twin engine aircraft was forced to land in Sarnia on one engine after a fire warning light came on.

It turned out to be a false reading but Sarnia police and fire were called to the scene as a precaution.

Airline Vice President of Operations Dan Bockner says the plane is quite capable of landing with just one engine.

No injuries or damage are reported. The airline dispatched repair crews Monday afternoon.

Air Georgian operates under the Air Canada Express brand.
