Cabin crew informed the flight deck that there was intensifying smoke in the cabin as well, passengers were breathing through articles of clothing. The crew continued for a safe landing on runway 24, vacated the runway onto taxiway A and stopped, the occupants rapidly disembarked onto the taxiway. No injuries occurred.

The Canadian TSB reported that maintenance identified oil had entered the environment control system and produced haze due to a leaking seal at the right hand engine (PW120A). The engine was replaced following a borescopic inspection.
