The Transportation Safety Board of Canada has deployed a team to the Sault Airport to look into an incident involving a Porter Airlines aircraft last night.

According to the TSB, the aircraft was involved in a "tail strike."

That technical term means the rear part of the aircraft touched the ground.

The TSB says it will "gather information and assess the occurrence."

SooToday.com has contacted the TSB but a spokesperson could not provide any additional information at this time.

A call to Porter Airlines has not been returned.

Porter uses the kind of aircraft shown for flights between the Sault and Toronto.
