HOUSTON, Texas – A plane reportedly skidded off the runway at George Bush Intercontinental Airport due to technical issues on Wednesday afternoon, according to officials.

Airport officials say the plane is from SkyWest Airlines and was operating as a United Express aircraft, Bombardier CRJ 200.

The aircraft reportedly began experiencing steering issues as it was coming into IAH from Victoria Regional Airport.

At the end of its landing, officials say it continued rolling off the runway.

The plane apparently stopped in a grassy area at the airport.

Officials say the 13 passengers and three crew members on board were evacuated and transported back to the terminal.

SkyWest Airlines officials say their maintenance team will fully inspect the aircraft.

Officials from the Federal Aviation Administration provided the following statement:

“SkyWest Flight 5069 landed safely at George Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston at about 3 p.m. today. After landing, the Bombardier CRJ-200 lost nose-wheel steering and rolled into a grass area next to the runway. No injuries were reported. The flight departed from Victoria Regional Airport in Victoria, Texas. The FAA will investigate. Please contact the airline for the number of passengers on board and for additional details.”

  1. With that large berm of dirt looming ahead I’ll bet the seat bottoms up front will need to be repaired.

    Glad it turned out well for all involved.
