PROVINCETOWN – A private plane went off the runway at Provincetown Municipal Airport on Thursday afternoon, closing the airport for about 90 minutes. 

The accident happened just before 2 p.m. and neither of the two occupants in the single-engine plane was hurt, according to a statement from Provincetown police Lt. Jim Golden.

The airport – which has just one runway and is in the Cape Cod National Seashore – is serviced by one commercial airline, Cape Air.

According to the Federal Aviation Administration registry, the plane is owned by Joseph P. Keenan of Westfield.

The plane was in the brush at the south end of the clear zone away from the runway and will require a crane to remove, which could take up to two days, said Cape Air spokeswoman Michelle Haynes.

“It is not interfering with Cape Air,” she said.

The state police, FAA and the Massachusetts Aeronautics Commission are investigating, Provincetown police said.
