A Jazz Aviation MHIRJ CRJ900 regional jet sustained a wing-tip strike while conducting a go-around at Fredericton Airport, New Brunswick, Canada on 28 April 2026. The aircraft, arriving from Toronto, experienced banking during the initial go-around phase, causing the left main landing gear to contact the runway and the left wing-tip to strike the runway surface. All 80 occupants were uninjured, though the aircraft sustained scrape damage to the left wing-tip and outer leading-edge slat. The crew completed a successful second approach and landing without further incident.
