Passengers on a plane about to take off at Montreal-Pierre Elliott Trudeau International Airport were forced off their aircraft after smoke was spotted coming from a piece of equipment near a gate.

Montreal airport (ADM) spokesperson Eric Forest said it was a “minor incident” after smoke was reported in a preconditioned air unit (PCA) used to send air onto the plane while it's parked.

No flames were spotted and the fire service unit responded and took control of the matter.

Air Canada Flight 1000 was set to leave Montreal for Fort Lauderdale at 6:45 a.m.
