THUNDER BAY — A mechanical issue forced a Westjet aircraft to divert to Thunder Bay on Friday while en route from Toronto to Vancouver.
Westjet says the crew of Flight 717 made the decision to land after receiving an indication that required the shutdown of the aircraft's engine number one.
In a statement Monday, the airline said the plane landed safety.
It said all 171 passengers were provided with reaccommodation options to Vancouver later the same evening.
A recovery flight was sent to Thunder Bay from Toronto to pick them up.
