According to reports, The Air Canada Express flight operated by PAL Airlines, which arrived from  Newfoundland, experienced landing gear failure at the time of touchdown.

No casualty was reported in the incident so far.

The airport was temporarily closed following the incident.

Passenger Nikki Valentine told CBC News that one of the plane's tires did not deploy properly upon landing.

"The plane started to sit at about a 20-degree angle to the left and, as that happened, we heard a pretty loud — what almost sounded like a crash sound — as the wing of the plane started to skid along the pavement, along with what I presume was the engine," she said.

Valentine said the plane then skidded down the runway for a "decent" distance as the pilots worked to stop the plane.

"The plane shook quite a bit and we started seeing fire on the left side of the plane and smoke started coming in the windows," she told CBC News.

The incident happened on a day when at least 124 people died after a plane with 181 people on board crashed at South Korea's Muan airport as it skidded off the runway while landing and burst into flames hitting a fence on Sunday morning.

According to the Yonhap news agency, the crash was reported in the South Jeolla province when Jeju Air flight 2216 was coming back from Thailand.

Authorities rescued two people and continued evacuating passengers from the Boeing 737-800's rear section.
