Trigana Air cargo 737 skids off the runway at Wamena Airport in Papua
A JAKARTA-BASED Trigana Air cargo 737 skidded off the runway of the Wamena Airport in the Indonesian part of Papua, an island shared with Papua New Guinea, disrupting fuel distribution to the region, reports the Jakarta Globe.
No fatalities have been reported. The Boeing 737 300 PK-YSY skidded of the runway around 7.40am in Indonesia's easternmost province after its wheel axles were reportedly broken as the aircraft was landing.
"Most likely the accident was caused by the hard bumps during the landing. We should wait for the KNKT [National Transportation Safety Committee] investigation for the complete information of the aircraft accident," pilot Aloysius Sigit said during a phone interview with the BeritaSatu News Channel.
Ahmad Bambang, marketing director of state-owned energy company Pertamina, said via his Twitter account that the aircraft typically carries fuel to the Jayapura and Wamena areas.
"We are sorry for fuel supply disruptions for Jayapura and Wamena since Trigana's Boeing 737 aircraft that we hired skidded off in Wamena Airport," he said.
Firetrucks have been deployed to the scene to prevent possible fires.
