The Airbus A-330 landed in Halifax at 7:45 a.m., local time, after the pilot decided to cut short the flight when he noticed that the oil pressure in one of the engines was dangerously low, said Juerg Dinner, a spokesman for Swiss International Airlines. Halifax airport spokeswoman Karen Sinclair said the plane notified the Halifax airport of its situation around midnight, and the plane landed in Halifax about 2:30 a.m. Atlantic time (1:30 a.m. Eastern time). The pilot initially diverted to Montreal but, as the oil pressure continued to fall, he had to turn off one engine and land in Halifax, which was closer, Dinner said. The passengers were taken to a hotel and were to be picked by another Swiss plane later in the day. A technician has been sent to Canada to repair the engine, Dinner added. -- Paul S.
