A Porter Airlines de Havilland Dash 8-400, registration C-GLQD performing flight PD-256 from Halifax,NS to Ottawa,ON (Canada), was taxiing for departure from runway 32 and had been cleared to taxi along taxiway D hold short of runway 05. The aircraft however continued to cross runway 05, while another Porter Airlines Dash 8-400, registration C-GKQA performing flight PD-241 from Ottawa,ON to Halifax,NS, was on final approach to runway 05. Flight 241 continued the approach, was re-cleared to land on runway 05 after flight 256 had vacated the runway, and landed safely. Flight 256 departed shortly afterwards and reached Ottawa safely and on time.

The Canadian TSB reported that the runway incursion occurred in the aftermath of a confusion because taxiway B had been renamed to taxiway M. The crew had intended to depart runway 32 from taxiway B. Following resulting discussions the crew requested a full length departure from runway 32 and was cleared to proceed to the end of the taxiway which the crew interpreted as a clearance to cross runway 05 as well.
