Sri Lanka, Feb. 11 -- A passenger plane in Somalia carrying 55 people on board crash-landed in shallow water on a seashore near the international airport on Tuesday. No one was injured in the incident.
The crew of the plane, a Fokker 50, reported a problem 15 minutes after takeoff from Mogadishu's Aden Abdulle International Airport on Tuesday morning and requested to return to the airport, according to Somalia's Civil Aviation Authority.
Ahmed Macalin Hassan, the CAA director, said the pilot then tried to touch down but failed to stop on the runway. The plane overshot the tarmac before coming to rest in shallow water near the shoreline.
The Starsky Aviation aircraft was bound for the northern city of Gaalkacyo.
