An airplane with 173 people on board skidded off the runway during landing at Cebu airport in the Philippines late Sunday in bad weather.
No one was injured, but those on board had to be evacuated via the aircraft’s emergency slides. The airport was closed as a result of the incident.
The aircraft belonged to Korean Airlines and was an Airbus A330 that had taken off from Incheon in South Korea. The incident must be investigated.
