An incident at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) on Tuesday afternoon grounded some flights and closed the airspace temporarily.

Richmond RCMP said they initially received a report at 1:10 p.m. that a Cessna 172, a small passenger aircraft, had been hijacked from the Greater Victoria area, across the Salish Sea, and entered into airspace near YVR. The suspect was the lone occupant on board.

Global’s Jordan Armstrong and Richard Zussman have the latest.
