A Carpatair ATR 72-500 on Saturday suffered a runway excursion due to
“strong shear wind conditions” while landing at Rome Fiumicino Airport.
There were no fatalities, according to a Carpatair statement.
The flight, which was enroute from Pisa, was operated by Carpatair on behalf of Alitalia under a wet-lease agreement. Out of the 46 passengers and four crew members, five passengers and one crew member required medical attention.
Though Carpatair said it was “not able to offer … information for the moment,” on the damage to the aircraft, the Flight Safety Foundation’s Aviation Safety Network reported that “the right hand main gear had collapsed and the airplane sustained damage to the fuselage and nr. 2 engine propeller blades,” after coming to rest off the side of the runway.
The aircraft is one of two Carpatair operates on behalf of Alitalia.
