Fly Jamaica: Boeing passenger plane crash lands at Guyana airport after ‘technical problem’ on way to Toronto
Aircraft overshoots runway at Cheddi Jagan International Airport
A Fly Jamaica plane has been forced into a crash landing at a Guyana airport after developing a “technical problem” en route to Toronto, leaving at least six passengers injured.
The Boeing 757 was carrying 118 people including two infants and was forced to turn round minutes into the flight due to a “hydraulics problem”.
In the emergency landing the aircraft overran the airstrip, crashed through a perimeter fence and came to a rest a few feet in front of a steep ditch. Passengers exited the craft on escape slides.
