Over 200 Air Canada passengers had a much shorter trip than expected after their flight from Montreal to Shanghai was forced to turn back due to an engine problem.

The flight was forced to dump fuel as it turned back with an apparently failing engine, according to social media posts by passengers.

Passengers were able to depart later that night on a different flight, according to an Air Canada spokesperson.
