MANILA, Philippines\u2014A light-cargo plane carrying live fish from Busuanga Island in Palawan\u00a0 made a rough landing at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport Saturday morning, but no one was hurt and no flights were disrupted.<\/p>\n
Joseph Agustin, Manila International Airport Authority’s safety division officer, said the Piper single-engine aircraft’s landing gear collapsed as it touched down on Runway 13 around 9:45 a.m.<\/p>\n
“Its nose gear suddenly retracted while the plane was taxiing toward\u00a0 the general aviation area, forcing the plane’s nose to hit the runway,” Agustin said.<\/p>\n
The pilot of the fish cargo aircraft, operated by CM Aero, was unhurt and was forced to leave the aircraft in the middle of the runway.<\/p>\n
MIAA’s fire, medical and safety teams responded to the accident and immediately worked on removing the disabled aircraft from the runway.<\/p>\n
Agustin said no flights were affected by the incident as it only took airport personnel 20 minutes to clear the aircraft from the runway.<\/p>\n
An investigation team from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines’ Aircraft Accident Investigation Board is now inspecting the aircraft to determine the cause of the accident.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
