The airline said Flight AC042, which left Toronto at 7:44 p.m. Monday, requested a “priority landing,” as the return was not scheduled, after discovering the engine issue.

The engine was shut down following standard operating procedures, the airline said, adding that the aircraft are designed to operate with one engine and their pilots are trained to fly safely in such situations.
“The aircraft landed normally and taxied to the gate,” Air Canada said in a statement to Global News.
The passengers originally on that flight will be travelling to Delhi on a new flight.
