Porter Airlines flight to Vancouver makes emergency landing in Regina
A planeload of Porter Airlines passengers got an unexpected detour to Regina Tuesday night, after their plane made an emergency landing. The Embraer 195 jet had been cruising at 38,000 feet over Montana, en route from Hamilton to Vancouver, when the plane suddenly made a steep descent around 7:30 p.m., then diverted to Regina International Airport. Porter Airlines has confirmed the plane cabin smelled of smoke. The pilots landed the plane safely in Regina at 8:33 p.m. "The captain elected to land in Regina as a precaution due to the smell of smoke in the cabin, although none was visible," a spokesperson for Porter Airlines wrote in an email to CBC Wednesday morning. They said the 85 passengers and five crew members onboard the flight stayed in hotels overnight and will continue their journey to Vancouver on another aircraft. "We appreciate the Regina Airport's support on the ground and the patience of passengers as we prioritize safe operations," the email said. A steep descent The aircraft is recorded on Flight Radar 24 as descending at 10,000 feet per minute at one point. The plane turns directly toward Regina during this descent, then levels off around 7,000 feet for some time. Then, the aircraft turns as if it might be heading to Calgary and climbs back up to 14,000 feet. But then a decision seems to be made to divert to Regina again, and the pilots begin a more normal descent toward YQR and landed safely at 8:33 p.m.. Porter Airlines has not yet confirmed what caused the smell of smoke.
