by isleofman.com 1st August 2008
There has been another emergency at the Isle of Man's airport this lunchtime
(Fri) with a FlyBe Embraer 190 aircraft reported to have veered off the runway.

Early suggestions are that it is a jet aircraft and there may be some damage to a wing.

A full emergency response was instituted with crews attending from Douglas, Castletown and Port Erin. Ambulances at the scene dealt with two casualties.

Eyewitnesses have described emergency escape chutes being deployed, although it is believed that most passengers have now disembarked safely.
