ASPEN, Colo.—No injuries have been reported after a small jet slid off the runway while landing at Aspen’s airport.
Airport Director Jim Elwood says there were six passengers, two pilots and two dogs onboard the Cessna Citation jet that went off the runway at Sardy Field shortly after noon on Thursday. He said the accident apparently occurred when a landing gear malfunctioned.
No names of the occupants were available. The airport was shut down for several hours after the accident.
The accident occurred in front of the maintenance operations center and all on board got out safely. The fire department was called to clean up a fuel leak.
