Jet skids off runway after botched takeoff at Las Vegas airport
Key Points:
- A Dassault Falcon 50 private jet aborted its takeoff and skidded off Runway 1L at Harry Reid International Airport around 11 a.m., making contact with the airport's perimeter fence.
- There were no reported injuries from the incident, but both Runways 1R and 1L were closed for inspection, potentially causing travel delays.
- The FAA issued a ground stop at the airport due to the aircraft emergency, advising travelers to check with airlines for updated flight information.
- The jet, owned by Jacks Wings LLC of Boca Raton, Florida, was seen on flight-tracking maps moving slowly before veering off the runway and stopping beyond the pavement.
