An incident at Vancouver International Airport (YVR) on Tuesday afternoon grounded some flights and closed the airspace temporarily.

Richmond RCMP said they initially received a report at 1:10 p.m. that a Cessna 172, a small passenger aircraft, had been hijacked from the Greater Victoria area, across the Salish Sea, and entered into airspace near YVR. The suspect was the lone occupant on board.
