Cargo Plane Skids Off Runway Into Sea at Hong Kong Airport
A 747 cargo freighter skidded off the runway into the sea at Hong Kong International Airport, killing two airport staff and injuring four crew.
The accident occurred when a cargo aircraft operated by Turkish carrier ACT Airlines crashed into the sea at Hong Kong International Airport (HKIA) in the early hours of Monday.
- The Boeing 747 freighter had arrived from Dubai and was attempting to land on the airport’s north runway when it skidded off course at around 3:50 a.m. local time.
- The aircraft broke in two on impact, with the fuselage resting partially submerged in shallow waters just beyond the tarmac.
“Unfortunately, an airport security patrol car was there at that time,” said Steven Yiu, Executive Director of Airport Operations at HKIA. “The aircraft collided with the patrol car and pushed the car into the sea.
The accident has prompted a major investigation into its cause.
