A Lion Air jet with 182 passengers and seven crew members overshot the runway while landing at Pontianak airport in Indonesia’s West Kalimantan province on Saturday, the airline said.
All the passengers and crew were evacuated safely from the aircraft that had departed from Jakarta’s Soekarno-Hatta airport earlier, Lion Air said. The airline is working with authorities to move the Boeing 737-800NG aircraft and minimize disruption to its operations, it said.
