The Transportation Safety Board of Canada (TSB) is investigating after a privately registered Hawker 850XP experienced a landing gear issue at Toronto Pearson International Airport on Wednesday morning.

The incident occurred shortly after the aircraft touched down, according to airport officials.

“A private aircraft experienced an issue with its landing gear after touching down at Toronto Pearson this morning,” a spokesperson for Toronto Pearson said in a statement. “It managed to taxi down the runway before coming to a stop near an intersection. Two crew [members] were on board, and no injuries were reported.”

The TSB says it has deployed a team of investigators to gather information and assess the occurrence, and Transport Canada has been notified.

Pearson officials said normal operations resumed at the airport around 5 p.m. ET

No timeline has been provided for when the investigation will conclude.
