Statement from Kenya Airways

21st April 2008

Kenya Airways would like to confirm that one of its jets Boeing 737-300 was this morning involved in an incident at the Entebbe International Airport. However, there were no injuries or casualties on the 113 passengers and 7 crew members on board and no damage to the aircraft.
Owing to heavy downpour and poor visibility in Entebbe, the pilot landed long and into the runway. The plane suffered a deflated tyre as a result of this action. The tyre was subsequently changed in 35 minutes and the plane embarked on the return journey to Nairobi with 66 passengers and 7 crew members on board.
