CALGARY - Eight people on board an Air Canada jet were hurt Thursday morning when their flight from Victoria to Toronto encountered trouble and the aircraft was forced to make an unscheduled landing in Calgary.
Emergency officials said six passengers required hospitalization and two had minor injuries.
They said Air Canada flight AC190 was carrying 86 passengers and five crew. An Air Canada news release said the preliminary passenger list for the Airbus A319 indicated it was carrying only 83 passengers.
The airline did not immediately release any details on the cause of the trouble, although a Calgary police spokesman said he understood the flight had encountered turbulence.
The aircraft landed without incident at Calgary International Airport just after 8 a.m. and was immediately surrounded by 19 ambulances and other emergency vehicles.
