Plane sinks at Derry Airport
10.08.07
|
AN INVESTIGATION is
underway after a plane sank into tarmac while
waiting on a runway at City of Derry Airport. |
Passengers on board the
flight from Salou were driven away from the aircraft
and the jet was eventually able to work itself
free.
The incident on Wednesday is another embarrassment
for the airport which was temporarily closed in
recent months by the Civil Aviation Authority. |
 |
An airport spokesperson
said: "While the aircraft was stationary, it settled
into the tarmac for a time and was subsequently
manoeuvred to the main area of the airport to allow
passengers to board the outbound flight to Salou/Reus."
The inbound service, carrying 180 passengers, had
been sitting on a remote runway for thirty minutes
after landing because of other traffic at the
airport. Inspectors from the CAA have requested a
full briefing on the incident. |
