Two people were taken to hospital after an Air Canada Rouge flight encountered turbulence on the way to its destination in Costa Rica.
AC1806 was en route to San Jose when it encountered severe turbulence approximately 90 minutes into the flight, according to data from Flightradar24.com.
The plane then turned around just over Asheville, North Carolina and returned to Pearson airport, where it landed without incident.
Peel Paramedics say two flight attendants were taken to hospital with minor injuries.
Air Canada says passengers have since departed to San Jose on another aircraft.
