An investigation is underway following a hard landing at the Calgary International Airport on Tuesday.

Air Canada Express flight AC7212 landed safely at around 7:20 a.m., but a spokesperson for Air Canada said the “nose gear collapsed when the aircraft came to a stop.”

“We recognize that this would have been disconcerting to passengers, and can confirm that our regional Express partners are trained to handle events such as this and to look after our customers with care,” Angela Mah said in an email to Global News.
