Des Moines International Airport is closed after at a Delta plane slid off a runway Saturday night.
No passengers were injured, but officials said they weren’t certain “when normal operations will resume” at the airport.
NewsRadio 1040 WHO reported that around 10 p.m. on Nov. 29, Delta 5087 from Detroit was landing during a post-Thanksgiving winter storm when it slid off the Des Moines runway.
Airport spokesperson Sarah Hoodjer told the Des Moines Register that “a Delta Air Lines aircraft slid off the runway while landing. All passengers are safe and are currently deplaning onto buses for transport to the terminal. There are no reported injuries.”
The aircraft remains on pavement at this time and will be moved once it is formally released by the National Transportation Safety Board, Hoodjer said.
“At this time, this is all the confirmed information I have,” she said.
