A serious incident occurred at Kraków’s Balice Airport — an Enter Air aircraft skidded off the runway during landing and became stuck in the grassy area next to the strip.
What do we know?
Passengers were immediately evacuated, and emergency services rushed to the scene. Fortunately, no one sustained serious injuries.
Following the incident, authorities decided to close the airspace over Balice. All flights were suspended for at least two hours, causing delays and rerouting of several connections.
What’s next?
Airport services are working to remove the aircraft from the grassy area and restore full operational capacity of the airport. An investigation is underway to determine the cause of the incident — whether it was pilot error, adverse weather conditions, or a technical failure.
Impact on passengers
Travelers are advised to check the status of their flights on the airline’s or airport’s website and to stay in touch with carriers regarding possible changes to their bookings.
