An Indonesian cargo plane that returned to base shortly after takeoff due to a technical problem went off the runway when it landed at Jakarta airport, the air navigation operator said.
Trigana Air’s Boeing 737-400 returned to Halim Perdanakusumah Airport about two minutes after takeoff on Saturday, AirNav spokesman Yohanes Harry Douglas Sirait said.
Several flights were diverted from the facility to Soekarno Hatta Airport in Banten, West Java, because the plane was blocking runways.
The plane was scheduled to fly to Makassar, South Sulawesi, he said. According to Sirait, the National Transportation Safety Committee has launched an investigation into the incident.
