PAL Airlines Dash 8-400 Loses a Wheel for the Second Time in Under Two Weeks and Diverts Safely to St. John's
The Canadian Press reported on November 12 that a PAL Airlines Bombardier Dash 8-400 lost a wheel while departing Goose Bay in Labrador, then diverted to St. John's, Newfoundland, and landed safely. No one on board was hurt, and passengers were rebooked on flights to Deer Lake.
It was the second wheel loss involving the same aircraft in under two weeks: the plane also lost a wheel on October 30. After that incident, the aircraft underwent extensive maintenance carried out under guidance from De Havilland Canada.
PAL Airlines has pulled the aircraft from service and is inspecting the wheel assemblies of its remaining Dash 8-400s, working with Transport Canada and De Havilland.
