PAL plane loses a wheel for the second time in two weeks

PAL Airlines has stopped flying one of its planes. The plane lost a wheel as it left Goose Bay, Labrador, on November 12. It was going to Deer Lake but went to St. John's and landed safely. The same plane, a Dash 8-400, also lost a wheel on October 30. After that, PAL did repair work on it, following advice from De Havilland, the company that makes it. No one knows the cause yet. PAL is working with Transport Canada, the federal department for travel safety, to find out. It is also checking wheels on its other Dash 8-400 planes.
