Private Plane Skids Off Runway, Sparks Fire at Libya's Misrata Airport
In a statement addressing the incident, the ministry moved quickly to reassure the public on the most pressing concern: no casualties were reported among the plane's crew, despite the runway excursion and the fire that followed.
The circumstances that led the aircraft to leave the runway during landing were not detailed in the ministry's statement, and it remains unclear how many crew members were aboard at the time or what type of private plane was involved. The news agency did not report any additional details beyond the ministry's account.
Emergency and aviation authorities at the airport moved to contain the fallout from the incident. According to the ministry, relevant authorities have already begun procedures to manage the situation on multiple fronts: bringing the fire under control, clearing the runway, and implementing the necessary safety measures to protect air navigation operations at the facility going forward.
Those measures, the ministry said, are being carried out specifically to lay the groundwork for resuming normal flight operations at Misrata International Airport, though no timeline was given for when the airport is expected to reopen to air traffic.
