Toronto Pearson airport returns to normal operations after 2 runways temporarily closed

Normal operations have resumed at Toronto Pearson airport hours after two runways were temporarily closed on Wednesday, the airport said via a post on social media.

It came after a private aircraft sustained landing gear issues after touchdown on Wednesday morning.

The temporary closures may have caused potential delays for passengers, the airport said, noting flights continued to arrive and depart as usual from the other runways.

The airport says the plane managed to taxi down the runway before stopping near an intersection.

Two crew members were onboard the aircraft, and no injuries have been reported. 

The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has deployed an investigative team to assess the incident.
