British Airways plane slips off runway at Durban Airport

18 June 2008. British Airways flight 6203 from Johannesburg to Durban skidded off the runway shortly after landing at Durban Airport. After landing in rainy and windy conditions the plane (a Boeing 737-200 ZS-OKD) went through a wet spot and went into a partial spin, resulting in one wheel ending up off the runway. Durban Airport was closed for a short while as the aircraft came to a halt horizontally positioned across the runway.

Six crew members and eighty seven passengers received counselling. Nobody was injured, and there was little or no damage to the aircraft.
