Marc-Antoine Deschamps, a spokesman for Ottawa's paramedics, said one person had been found dead at the scene of the accident. The victim was an 82-year-old recreational pilot, according to the Newstalk 1010 radio station.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada stated that the second aircraft sustained minor damage.
The police still have not confirmed the number of people on board the two boats nor the cause of the collision. The CBC reported, however, that the pilot of the plane that had landed at the Ottawa International Airport had claimed that the other plane had hit the bottom of his plane, thus damaging his train landing right.
The Transportation Safety Board of Canada is continuing its investigation.
