Plane makes emergency landing in Yellowknife after landing gear stops working
In an email to CBC News, Keewatin Air president Ryan DeGroot said a Beechcraft King Air 200 "experienced a landing gear malfunction on arrival at Yellowknife airport."
The plane, which is used for medevacs, landed around 7:45 p.m., after circling outside of Yellowknife.
No passengers were on board and crew were able to exit safely, DeGroot said.
No injuries were reported.
In an email to CBC News, the Transportation Safety Board of Canada said it's aware of the incident and is gathering information but could not comment further.
A similar incident happened in Rankin Inlet in February involving the same type of plane. That Beechcraft King Air 200, operated by Air Nunavut, made an emergency landing after its landing gear also stopped working.
The plane landed in Rankin Inlet with its nose touching the runway.
