An Air Asia plane carrying 130 passengers and crew skidded off the runway as it landed at Kuching airport last night.
Four passengers reportedly suffered minor injuries.
The accident happened when Flight AK5218 from KL landed at Kuching Airport at 10.20pm. A passenger said the plane veered sharply to the left and right after it touched down and then skidded off the runway onto soft ground.
The runway has been closed, and flights departing and arriving Kuching have been cancelled, Air Asia said on its website. “So now, everyone can’t fly?” said one tweet.
Services, however, are expected to be resumed later today.
I think airport authorities need to check on the drainage on the runway area. See Bernama report here.
