Two crew members were injured Monday after a Porter flight from Ottawa had to evade a suspected drone as it landed at Toronto’s Billy Bishop Airport.

Transportation Safety Board of Canada spokeswoman Julie Leroux said Porter flight 204 was about 30 nautical miles from the airport when it encountered what is believed to be an unmanned aerial vehicle at about 9,000 feet on its approach to landing at 7:30 a.m.

“The flight crew performed an evasive manuever and two cabin crew received injuries as a result,” said Leroux. “The extent of the injuries is unknown.”

Leroux said she did not know if the crew members were taken to hospital.

The TSB is sending a team of investigators to look into what they described as a “risk of collision.”

The plane is still in Toronto, Leroux said. TSB investigators are expected to interview the crew Monday.

More to come.
