A plane coming from New York landed safely at Pearson International Airport in Mississauga Saturday after reports of smoke in the cockpit. Peel police received a call just after 1:45 p.m. from the crew of an American Airlines flight about the issue. All 50 passengers and three crew members were safely evacuated from the plane, which came from LaGuardia Airport. Police said there was no active fire onboard, but the source of the smoke is not known at this time. Pearson was the intended destination of the aircraft. Transport Canada will be taking over the investigation, police said.
