An Air Canada Boeing Co 737-8 Max en route between Arizona and Montreal with three crew members on board suffered an engine problem that forced the crew to divert the aircraft to Tucson, Arizona, the Canadian airline said in a statement by e- mail on Friday.
Shortly after takeoff, the pilots were given an “engine indication” and “decided to turn off one of them,” said an Air Canada spokesman.
“The aircraft was then diverted to Tucson, where it landed normally and remains.” The incident occurred on December 22.
The crew received an indication of low hydraulic pressure from the left engine and declared a PAN PAN emergency before diverting the flight, reported the Belgian aviation news website Aviation24.be.
