TETERBORO, N.J. -- Teterboro Airport reopened early Wednesday, just hours after a business jet landing there overshot a runway and stopped in snow and mud, the airport operator said.
The two passengers and two crew members walked away, uninjured, from the Hawker aircraft after it landed at about 10:15 p.m. Tuesday, said Tony Ciavolella, a spokesman for the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, the airport's operator.
It was the second time in five weeks a jet failed to stop on a runway at Teterboro. Twenty people were injured last month when a larger plane skidded off a runway during an aborted takeoff, shot across a busy road and slammed into a warehouse.
On Tuesday, the jet did not touch down soon enough so it did not have enough runway to stop; it came to rest 200 feet past the end of Runway 1, Ciavolella said. The jet was about 1,000 feet from the nearest road, he said.
The jet, which had arrived from Columbus, Ohio, had minor damage and no airport structures were damaged, but the airport was closed immediately after the accident, he said.
The other runway returned to service about 1 a.m., Ciavolella said, although he did not know if any aircraft used it in the early hours. The airport has a voluntary curfew between midnight and 6 a.m.
"Early indications are that the aircraft appeared to land long, but the matter is under investigation by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) and National Transportation Safety Board," Ciavolella said.
He declined to speculate if the frigid, blustery, snowy weather played a role in the accident. He said the runway was in good condition.
