The Air Canada Express flight departed Toronto Pearson Airport for Charlotte in North Carolina on Tuesday. “Shortly after departing Toronto Pearson International Airport, the flight crew noticed cracking in the right-hand side window,” said Lauren Dunn, spokesperson for Jazz Aviation LP – the airline operating the flight on behalf of Air Canada under the Air Canada Express brand. Per our standard operating procedures, the flight returned to Toronto, landing safely and uneventfully.” The plane for flight AC8745 was a Mitsubishi CRJ-200ER, which typically holds about 50 passengers. Meanwhile in November 2019, a Boeing 787 that departed London Heathrow for Toronto had to be diverted to Dublin after the windshield cracked at the beginning of its flight over the Atlantic Ocean.
