Flight from Beijing suspected of deviating from north runway as plane landed while No 8 typhoon warning was in effect
Hong Kong aviation authorities are investigating a “serious incident” involving an HK Express flight suspected of deviating from its designated runway after landing and hitting some signboards amid a typhoon.
The Air Accident Investigation Authority said on Monday that a team was collecting information and identifying areas for further investigation or lines of inquiry to follow up.
The authority, which is an independent investigation body under the Transport and Logistics Bureau, said it was conducting the probe into what it called a “serious incident” to prevent similar events from happening in the future.
HK Express is the budget arm of Hong Kong’s flag carrier, Cathay Pacific Airways.
