The de Havilland DHC8 (registration C-FACF, serial number 259) was being operated by Jazz Air Inc. as Flight JZA7956 from Toronto, Ontario, to Windsor Locks, Connecticut (KBDL), U.S.A. The aircraft departed from Runway 06L at Toronto/Lester B. Pearson International Airport (LBPIA), Ontario, at 1950 eastern standard time on the scheduled night instrument flight rules flight. During the take-off run, a three-foot piece of the wing leading edge (with the de-ice boot attached) separated from the left wing. The flight crew noticed a vibration on the flight controls during the initial climb after take-off and elected to return to Toronto/LBPIA. Air traffic control received a report of debris on Runway 06L, and the DHC8 aircraft leading-edge piece was retrieved. The aircraft landed without further incident on Runway 06L, with emergency response vehicles on standby. When the leading-edge section was examined, it was determined that the 14 screws that secure the leading-edge section to the bottom of the wing were missing.
