A Sea Air flight from Aklan province carrying 32 passengers and three crew members met an accident after landing late Sunday afternoon at the Domestic Runway of the Manila International Airport (MIA) in Pasay City.
According to a report from the MIA Public Affairs Department, the accident happened at around 5:55 pm, leaving two passengers with abrasion wounds.
The report said that upon the landing of the Sea Air Dornier 328-100, with tail number RP-C 5328, the “aircraft swiveled and went to the canal of taxi-way Delta.”
A report reaching the office of MIA Assistant General Manager for Security and Emergency Services Angel Atutubo said the plane allegedly “encountered problems with its brakes” while it was taxiing.
The pilot of the plane was identified as Capt. Tony Mendoza, while his co-pilot was identified as Jason Taaca. The said flight came from Catican Airport in Malay, Aklan where the world-renowned Boracay Beach Resort is located.
The “aircraft problem” will be subject of further “investigation by the Air Transportation Office, the MIA report said.
Meanwhile, the two passengers with abrasion were brought to the MIA Medical Clinic for treatment after all of them were offloaded and transferred to a bus by rescue teams from MIA and Sea Air Operations.
