The Transportation Safety Board says itB次元官网网址檚 investigating after a Boeing 767 cargo jet went off a runway at Vancouver International Airport.

The airport says the aircraft went off the north runway after landing about 1:45 a.m. on Tuesday, but none of the three-person crew was hurt.

The Amazon Prime Air jet remains in the grass off the runway nose down, both engines on each of the mud-splattered wings are touching the ground.

The airport says the north runway will remain closed four about two days, which could affect other flights.

According Flightradar24, a global flight tracking data base, the aircraft left Hamilton just after midnight eastern time and was landing about four hours later when the flight path showed the plane continuing past the end of the north runway for about 500 metres before coming to a stop.

At the time of the landing, Environment CanadaB次元官网网址檚 weather station at the airport showed light rain and snow falling for about 1 1/2 hours before the plane landed.

The safety boardB次元官网网址檚 website says runway overruns can damage planes and, in the worst cases, lead to injuries or deaths.

The board says the consequences can be particularly serious when there isnB次元官网网址檛 an adequate area around the runway or a suitable system to stop planes.

B次元官网网址淭his closure will have an impact on YVR operations and flight schedules, but aircraft continue to arrive and depart on our south runway,B次元官网网址 the airport said in an updated statement Tuesday.

B次元官网网址淲e encourage passengers to check with their airlines for current flight schedules and status before heading to YVR.B次元官网网址
