VietJet plane skids off runway in Ho Chi Minh City, no injuries

HANOI, June 14 — A VietJet Air passenger plane skidded off a runway as it landed at Tan Son Nhat Airport in Ho Chi Minh City today, but no one was injured, the company said.

VietJet said the aircraft, which was arriving from the tourism island of Phu Quoc, skidded off the runway due to heavy rain and a tailwind.

“The airplane, passengers and crew are all safe,” VietJet said in the statement, without saying how many were onboard.

Local media reports said the airport was briefly closed today due to the incident, adding that the plane involved is an Airbus A321neo. — Reuters
