*Enigmatic Event Unfurls at Frosty Airport*
A peculiar incident took place at St. Louis Lambert International Airport (STL) when a plane carrying 27 passengers, along with the crew, skidded off the taxiway and eventually came to a halt. The airport released a statement disclosing that the United Regional Jet, operated by GoJet Airlines, had departed from Washington Dulles International Airport and landed on Runway 11-29 before veering off onto a patch of grass just before 11 a.m. on a late Wednesday morning.
No injuries were reported, and the passengers were swiftly ushered onto airport buses for immediate transport to the airport terminal, as indicated in the release. Although no official reports had been issued as of Wednesday evening, Elizabeth Dray, spokesperson for GoJet Airlines, mentioned in a statement to CNN that inclement weather conditions, particularly icy taxiways, were likely the main factor behind the mishap.
All scheduled flights have been transferred from the affected aircraft to another one, as stated in the release. The Federal Aviation Administration has announced its plans to carry out an investigation into the incident.
