Overview

  • A regional aircraft on the Aguascalientes–Huatulco route reportedly landed in an emergency at Oaxaca’s Benito Juárez International Airport after engine trouble.
  • Local media say the plane touched down without the landing gear fully deployed, which can force a belly landing on the runway.
  • Roughly six people were on board according to early reports, and one passenger was treated for injuries by emergency crews.
  • Airport officials activated safety protocols at the scene, and there were no reported disruptions to flights or terminal operations.
  • Authorities have not issued an official account, though local outlets report that investigators have begun work to determine what failed.
