A Boeing 737 operated by Nolinor made an emergency landing at Montreal's Mirabel airport on November 27, 2024, due to a mechanical issue. Communication problems between the pilots and the control tower contributed to the situation, as the tower was unaware of the emergency. The flight, carrying 87 passengers and seven crew members, declared a "Pan-Pan" emergency but did not receive the expected emergency response. Upon landing, the left landing gear malfunctioned, causing the plane to skid and sustain significant damage, though no injuries were reported. The Transportation Safety Board is investigating the incident, confirming that the aircraft experienced a flap problem. Nolinor has stated that all passengers were safely evacuated and later transferred to another flight.
