TORONTO – An Air Canada flight with 24 people aboard made a safe emergency landing at Pearson International Airport Wednesday afternoon.

Peel Regional Police say the pilot requested the emergency landing because it was believed one of the engines was not operating and there was a hydraulic problem.

Police say the two-engine Dash-8 aircraft landed safely and there were no injuries.

Video of the landing showed one of the two engines was not operating as the plane touched down.
