Overview

• WestJet flight WS2276 from Toronto, carrying 164 people, was evacuated via slides with no injuries reported, though three passengers were taken for precautionary medical evaluations.
• The right main landing gear collapsed on touchdown, damaging the aircraft’s right wing and engine area; emergency crews deployed foam as a precaution and reported no fire.
• Princess Juliana International Airport’s single runway was closed for recovery efforts and inspections and then reopened Monday as flights resumed following diversions and cancellations.
• The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is sending investigators to assess the incident, and WestJet says it is cooperating with local authorities.
• Flight-tracking reports identify the aircraft as Boeing 737-800 C-GWSR, and widely shared videos and ATC audio captured the landing and a mayday call announcing an evacuation.
