The runway at the George F.L. Charles Airport was closed for about 40 minutes this afternoon, Jan. 12 after a single-engine aircraft’s landing gear issue, airport officials have confirmed.
Head of Airports Lambert Remy told St. Lucia News Online (SNO) that around 1:45 p.m., a French-registered PA-32 Cherokee Six light aircraft busted a tire while landing.
Two persons, including the pilot, were on board the fixed-landing-gear aircraft at the time of the incident.
No one was hurt.
Remy said the private aircraft flew in from neighbouring Dominica.
St. Lucia Air and Seaports Authority Communications Officer Grace Herman told SNO that the aircraft was removed and repairs were being carried out.
