New York/Toronto - An Airbus carrying 255 passengers was forced to make an emergency landing Tuesday in Newfoundland as a result of cracked windshield, media reports said. The airplane had been cruising over the Atlantic while en route from Toronto to London's Gatwick Airport when its windshield cracked, Canadian broadcaster CBC reported.
The pilot turned the Airbus 310 around and landed safely at St John's International Airport in Canada's coastal province of Newfoundland.
No one was injured, according to airport director Bob Nurse.
The aircraft belonging to Canadian charter company Air Transat is to undergo repairs.
