After a private jet skid off the runway at the Ibrahim Nasir International Airport (INIA), flight delays have been changed to cancellations and passengers are stuck at the airport since the jet is still on the runway.
Moments after the private jet took off from INIA, the captain landed the plane again, and the jet skid off the runway.
“The wheel has been punctured and the plane has pivoted to a side. One of it’s wings is 10 cm from the ground. Hence moving it is difficult.” An official from the airport said.
The airport official said that the fuel is being emptied from the plane to move it but it would take a few hours.
He said that no planes have landed after the incident took place at 4:50 p.m. today. But a domestic flight did take off after that.
Sources say that some tourists are also stuck at the airport. And passengers are impatiently waiting at the domestic airports as well.
