No one was injured when a jet ran off the runway Wednesday at St. Louis Lambert International Airport.
The United regional jet operated by GoJet Airlines was landing in St. Louis at 10:50 a.m. CST after taking off from Washington Dulles International Airport. In a news release from the St. Louis airport, officials said the aircraft “went into a section of grass after landing on St. Louis Lambert International Airport’s Runway 11-29.”
There were 27 people on board the plane, including crew members, and all were taken by airport buses to the facility’s Concourse A.
A winter weather system moved through St. Louis on Wednesday, dropping a wintry mix of sleet and snow in the region. Most of the snow was forecast for areas north of St. Louis, where St. Louis Lambert International is located in north St. Louis County.
The incident comes after several recent aircraft mishaps, including a military jet crashing with a commercial airliner in midair over Washington, D.C.; a medical transport plane crashing in Philadelphia; and an aircraft that went missing in the Alaskan mountains. There were also incidents in Seattle and Scottsdale, Arizona.
