Plane overshoots runway in Cebu

The Philippines' second-largest airport was closed after a Korean Air plane overshot the runway late on Sunday (23 October).
   The Airbus SE A330-300 aircraft was carrying 162 passengers and 11 crew when it slipped off the runway at the Mactan-Cebu International Airport in bad weather. Despite the aircraft sustaining damage, no one was injured.
All flights have been cancelled for the time being, the airport said.

The flight, KE631, took off from Seoul’s Incheon Airport on Sunday. Data from Flightradar24, which tracks air traffic, showed the plane circling the airport several times. It tried to land twice, before overshooting the runway on the third attempt.
“The incident has necessitated the temporary closure of the MCIA runway to allow for the safe removal of the aircraft. For now, all international and domestic flights to and from MCIA are cancelled until further notice,” the airport said.
“We are working with Korean Air, the Mactan-Cebu International Airport Authority and the Civil Authority of the Philippines for the swift resolution of this matter. Updates will immediately be given once available.”
