A Flair Airlines plane has run off the runway in Kitchener-Waterloo, south-west of Toronto, Friday morning.

According to Flair, the plane, which originated in Vancouver,  “exited the runway” at the end of its landing at around 6:30 a.m.

There are no reported injuries, and the 134 people on board exited the plane.

The Boeing 737 jet is still in the grass as Transportation Safety Board of Canada investigators are on their way. The Region of Waterloo International Airport (YKF) will remain closed, and Friday morning’s Flair flight to the airport from Vancouver has been cancelled.

Flight 501 departed Vancouver late Thursday night, according to FlightAware.
