A Pegasus Airlines plane skidded off the runway of a Turkish coastal airport and ended up halfway down a steep slope into the Black Sea, but no passengers or crew were hurt, Turkish media reported on Sunday (January 14).
The incident happened on Saturday (January 13) night at Trabzon airport in northeast Turkey. Drone footage from the site on Sunday (January 14) showed the plane's nose close to the water's edge.
Pegasus Airlines said in a statement that the Boeing 737-800 aircraft, flying from Ankara to Trabzon, “had a runway excursion incident” as it landed but the 162 passengers, two pilots and four cabin crew were unhurt.
