Aircraft
The aircraft was a single-engined Cessna 208B Grand Caravan owned by Beaver Air Services and operated by Missinippi Airways; with a registration of C-FMCB and a manufacturer's serial number of 208B-1114. It had been manufactured and first flown in 2005.[3]
Investigation
An investigation is being carried out by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada.[4] The preliminary findings show that the aircraft ran off the runway and caught fire, but the cause of this is not yet known.[5]
Aftermath
Safety concerns identified during the investigation led Transport Canada to revoke Missinippi Airways' air operator's certificate,[6] for safety concerns.[7] Without this, it is unable to fly commercial air services in Canada.[8] The air operator's certificate was subsequently reinstated effective September 3, 2011.[9]
On October 21, 2011 at 11:59 pm Transport Canada suspended the Air Operator Certificate again due to deficiencies with the company's Operational Control System after an inspection during the week. [10]
