EAGLE — Eagle County officials say a private jet carrying seven people en route to Mexico slid off the runway in an aborted takeoff at Eagle County Regional Airport.
Eagle County spokeswoman Kris Friel said none of the passengers was injured during the attempted takeoff Friday afternoon. The plane was carrying four passengers and three crewmembers.
The incident closed the airport’s single runway for two hours. No flights were canceled, but eight were delayed.
