American Airlines Flight Veers Off Runway at Rochester Airport

An American Airlines flight slid off a runway at New York’s Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport on Thursday amid icy and snowy weather conditions, officials have confirmed.

The incident occurred moments after American Eagle Flight 5811—which had taken off from Philadelphia International Airport—landed safely in New York at around 4 p.m.

The plane then attempted to taxi to the terminal, according to a Rochester Airport spokesman.

However, officials said the plane—a smaller E-145 Embraer Regional Jet operated by Piedmont Airlines, a subsidiary of the American Airlines Group—veered off course while attempting to do so and stopped in the grass just off the taxiway.
