AirAsia Plane Overshoots Runway In Philippines

-

Just days after one of its planes went missing
and crashed, AirAsia has suffered another
blow after an aircraft skidded off and
overshot the runway during landing.
Passengers were pictured leaving the jet using
emergency slides following the scare which
happened in the central Philippines during
bad weather.
Nobody was reported to be injured in the
incident involving flight Z2272 from the capital
Manila to Kalibo, with 159 passengers and crew
on board.
The AirAsia Zest jet ended up in a grassy area
and reportedly got stuck in a muddy field.
Three tyres were believed to be stuck and
officials said the busy airport would be closed
to air traffic until the aircraft was towed
away.

Journalist Jet Damazo-Santos tweeted: "Just
landed in kalibo on an AirAsia flight that
overshot runway.
"Nobody seems to be hurt. Weather was bad
because of #senangph Plane came to a very
abrupt stop.
"Engine was shut immediately, we were told to
leave bags, deplane asap. Firetruck was
waiting. Seems handled well."
According to pictures tweeted by Ms Damazo-
Santos, elderly passengers on board the flight
had their blood pressure checked after they
disembarked the aircraft.
AirAsia said in a statement: "AirAsia
Philippines confirms flight Z2272 from Manila
skidded off the Kalibo International Airport
runway at 5.43pm (8.43pm AEDT) upon landing.
"All 153 passengers and crew were able to
disembark safely, no injuries reported. All
passengers are now at a hotel assisted by
AirAsia staff."
AirAsia Zest is a domestic carrier, partly
owned by AirAsia Philippines - the Philippine
affiliate of AirAsia, a low-cost airline based
in Malaysia.
The mystery of AirAsia flight QZ8501 which
went missing on Sunday has been solved after
dozens of bodies were found in the Java Sea along
with a "shadow" believed to be the stricken
aircraft.
Just days ago, an AirAsia Zest plane developed
a tyre problem in the central Philippine city
of Tagbilaran while its 184 passengers and
crew were boarding.
The airline then cancelled the flight to
Manila.
