UNIPA News(Haiti)-21 March-An aircraft incident involving IBC Airways was reported this Friday, March 20, 2026, at the Antoine-Simon International Airport, raising concerns among passengers and local authorities.
According to information gathered on site, the aircraft arriving from Miami experienced difficulties during landing. The plane was reportedly unable to stop properly on the runway and overshot the landing area, coming to a halt outside the designated runway zone, near a security fence.
Witnesses indicated that adverse weather conditions, including heavy rainfall, may have made the runway slippery and contributed to the incident. Other sources suggest the possibility of a technical issue, potentially involving the braking system or landing gear.
Despite the seriousness of the situation, no fatalities or injuries were reported. All passengers and crew members were safely evacuated, although several individuals were left in shock.
Airport authorities and emergency services quickly secured the area and began initial assessments. An investigation is expected to determine the exact cause of the incident and to help prevent similar occurrences in the future.
This event has once again raised concerns regarding airport infrastructure and aviation safety in Haiti, particularly in regions vulnerable to severe weather conditions.
