Air Iran flight IR762 was trying to leave from Stockholm on its way to Tehran, but it didn’t make it off the runway. As the Airbus A300-600, with 172 aboard, started its take off roll, it went off the runway about 130yards.’œSome 100, 150 meters out on the runway (the plane) made a very slow turn and got stuck in the snow on the side of the runway,’ airport spokesman Jan Lindqvist said.
There was light snow on the ground at the time of the incident, but investigators are looking to see if there was something wrong with one of the engines, causing the slow turn.
The airline states the aircraft was not damaged and none of the passengers were injured.
