 A plane operated by charter airline Skyjet was approaching Quebec City's Jean Lesage International Airport on Thursday when a drone struck one of its wings, according to local media reports. There were six passengers and two crew members aboard the plane.

"I am extremely relieved that the aircraft only sustained minor damage and was able to land safely," Canadian Transport Minister Marc Garneau said in a statement Sunday.

Based in Quebec, Skyjet operates a fleet of small twin-engine aircraft, according to its website. The company didn't immediately respond to a request for comment outside regular business hours.
