A preliminary report by the Transportation Safety Board of Canada says a plane that crashed in the Northwest Territories this week was chartered to help with winter road construction in the area.

The Air Tindi plane carrying 10 people crashed on Dec. 27 near the Diavik Diamond Mine, about 300 kilometres northeast of Yellowknife, with everyone on board surviving.
