Vancouver Airport Runway Closed After Cargo Jet Overrun

An Amazon Prime cargo plane experienced a flight control issue leading to a runway overrun, prompting a two-day closure of YVR's north runway.

The incident occurred around 1:45 a.m. PT, with the plane overrunning the eastern boundary of the north runway.
No injuries were reported among the three-person crew, and the plane had no dangerous cargo on board.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is investigating the incident, focusing on a reported issue with the plane's leading edge slats.
Approximately 5% of flights are expected to be disrupted as operations shift to the south runway during the closure.
Efforts to remove the jet include plans to construct a temporary roadway for its extraction from the grassy area where it stopped.
