18 November 2010,

SANAA — A Yemeni military C-130 ran off the runway on Thursday at the Sanaa

airport, causing a fire in one engine but no casualties, said the head of

the Yemeni civil aviation authority, Hamad Faraj.

The plane, which was arriving from Amman, left the runway and slid on one of

its wings, causing a fire that was quickly extinguished, Faraj was quoted by

the official Saba news as saying.

The airport was temporarily closed, he said, without revealing what the

aircraft was carrying.

Civil aviation and the Yemeni air force have opened a joint investigation

into the circumstances, he added.

The Thursday incident was the second in a little more than a week involving

a Yemeni military aircraft.

On November 10, a Yemeni MiG-21 fighter jet crashed near Hudaydah airport on

the Red Sea during a training mission, but the pilot survived unharmed.
