WARWICK, R.I. (AP) – T.F. Green Airport reopened one of its runways Monday after workers removed a plane that had slid off during a flight the previous night.
A U.S. Airways Express Flight from Philadelphia carrying 31 passengers and three crew members slid off the airport’s primary runway as it tried to land during Sunday’s winter storm. No one was hurt.
A spokeswoman for Air Wisconsin, a regional carrier for US Airways, said the incident was believed to be weather-related. The Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board were investigating.
Rebecca Pazienza, an airport spokeswoman, said the runway reopened about 1:30 p.m. Monday once workers with cranes were able to remove the plane, which was towed to a hangar.
