The Lulutai Airline's Saab 340 aircraft slid off the taxiway at the Fua'amotu Domestic Airport with a full load passengers, early this afternoon, hitting a low concrete wall, after it earlier aborted landing at the Lupepau’u Airport in Vava’u. Early reports say there were no injuries, but passengers were screaming after a landing gear collapsed. One man was carried off the plane by responding soldiers.
