Adam Air B734 skids off runway, 5pax injured
Quote:
AN Indonesian passenger plane carrying 174 people skidded off the runway in heavy rain, injuring five people, while landing at Batam airport.
The Boeing 737-400 operated by local budget carrier Adam Air overshot the runway at Hang Nadim airport on Batam, an Indonesian island close to Singapore, and its right wing was damaged, said airline spokesman Danke Drajat.
"It rained heavily at the airport but whether it was due to the weather it is not for us to say,'' Mr Drajat said.
The national transport safety committee was investigating.
