Two Philippine planes involved in accidents but all aboard safe


MANILA, Dec 11 (AP): A Philippine Airlines plane carrying 33 people veered off the runway after landing in rainy weather at a central airport late o Friday (Dec 11), causing no injuries but delaying 34 incoming and outgoing flights, officials said.

The De Havilland Dash 8 turboprop aircraft, which flew to central Cebu province from nearby Caticlan town in Aklan province, was towed away from the runway three hours later, allowing the reopening of Mactan-Cebu international airport, the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines said.
