Fire incident involving Air Canada plane at Montreal Trudeau International Airport is being investigated.


A fire incident occurred at Montreal-Trudeau International Airport on July 9, involving an Air Canada Boeing 777-300. The incident took place on the airport tarmac, prompting the response of Montreal firefighters.

At approximately 3:25 p.m., a vehicle parked underneath the Air Canada aircraft caught fire, leading to the swift intervention of authorities. Thankfully, no injuries were reported, and firefighters were able to bring the fire under control within thirty minutes.

Air Canada confirmed that the vehicle involved in the incident was a water truck. The airline stated that the affected aircraft is currently undergoing inspection, and an investigation into the incident has been initiated.



The Air Canada flight had recently arrived at Montreal-Trudeau Airport from Geneva, Switzerland. As a precautionary measure, the remaining passengers from the Geneva flight were promptly deplaned.

While the exact extent of the damage to the aircraft is still being assessed, a passenger on another plane managed to capture video footage showing the aftermath of the fire.
