Small airplane skids off runway into bay during botched landing at Oregon airport

Five people were rescued and are recovering after a small private plane skidded off a runway at an Oregon airport and into the nearby bay.

The Southwest Oregon Regional Airport (OTH) reported that a small private plane slid off Runway 23 during landing early Monday morning. Runway 23 is situated near the Pacific Ocean.

Officials said the 2019 HA-420 was attempting to land shortly after 6:00 a.m., when it skidded off the runway and into the bay.

The aircraft was located approximately 100 feet off the east end of the runway in the water, according to officials.

The plane will be secured on airport property near the runway where the incident happened as the investigation into the incident is ongoing.

“This is a developing incident. Information will be released as it becomes available,” the airport wrote in a post on their Facebook page. 

The airport said that commercial air service was suspended for United Express for nearly two hours, but has since been restored.

SkyWest flight 5509 was delayed, but the airport said it was scheduled to arrive at OTH at 2:14 p.m. on Monday. 

North Bend, Oregon, is where the airport is situated, providing year-round commercial flights to and from San Francisco, California, and seasonal flights to Denver, Colorado, based on information from the airport’s Facebook page.
