Flights delayed at Sacramento International after small plane skids off runway
A private plane slid off the runway during landing at Sacramento International Airport on Friday at noon, forcing closure of one of the airport’s two runways.
Airport officials said 14 flights were either delayed or diverted to other airports during the runway closure.
The Aerostar plane slid into grass beside the runway, spokeswoman Laurie Slothower said. The pilot was uninjured. The plane had to be towed away.
