AC 340 fuel dump near CYTZ?
Anyone know about the A340 fuel dump south of the Island on the night of Feb 17? YKZ tower made a broadcast about it that night.
A few years ago Air Canada decided it was cheaper (and better public relations) to conduct an overweight landing (and land as softly as possible) and do an overweight landing inspection on the aircraft than it was to waist the fuel, spend the time in the air to dump it, and pay for the environmental fines. They must have had a lot of fuel on board if they dumped.
