A plane skidded off the runway at the Gainesville Regional Airport Monday night as Tropical Storm Colin passed through the region, leading to the diversion of two other flights to Jacksonville, according to an airport official.
At around 11:30 p.m., a Cessna Citation carrying two pilots and a passenger went off the runway, damaging the plane's landing gear and becoming stuck in the mud, according to airport manager Laura Aguiar.
No one aboard the seven-seater was injured, she said.
Before that plane came in, a Delta flight from Atlanta scheduled to arrive around 9:30 p.m. was diverted to Jacksonville because of the storm. Because of the damaged aircraft, a second incoming Delta flight was diverted to Jacksonville, Aguiar said.
All of the American flights were in at that time, she said.
A crane was brought in overnight to remove the damaged Cessna, she said.
One of the diverted flights, carrying 71 passengers, has come in to Gainesville today, Aguiar said. The second one was canceled.
