Flights Halted After Private Plane Leaves Runway at Misrata Airport

(MENAFN) Flights were temporarily suspended at Misrata International Airport in Libya on Monday after a private aircraft veered off the runway while landing and caught fire, according to the Libyan Transportation Ministry.

The incident occurred as the plane was completing its landing at the airport, prompting authorities to suspend air traffic while emergency teams responded to the fire and worked to secure the affected area. The ministry said no members of the aircraft’s crew were injured in the incident.

Authorities immediately began procedures to contain the fire and address the consequences of the runway incident. Safety measures were also introduced to protect aircraft operations and ensure that conditions at the airport were secure before flights could resume.

The transportation authorities said the relevant teams were working to manage the situation and complete the necessary procedures following the aircraft’s departure from the runway. Their efforts were focused on controlling the fire and maintaining safety across the airport’s operational areas.

The temporary suspension of flights was implemented as a precaution while officials assessed the situation and carried out the required safety measures. Airport operations are expected to remain affected until authorities determine that the runway and surrounding facilities are safe for normal air traffic.

The ministry said the measures were being taken with the aim of preparing the airport for the resumption of flights once the necessary safety procedures had been completed. No casualties were reported among the plane’s crew.
