From Rome daily "Il Messaggero"

"An Airbus 300 aircraft with 143 passengers and 6 crew-members belonging to Wind Jet departed the runway on landing at Palermo's Falcone-Borsellino airport. The flight number was Wind Jet LV243, a code share with Meridiana Fly, which departed Fiumicino [FCO] at 19:08 [local, presumably], slightly behind schedule.

The aircraft ran off the runway at 20:13 on account of a very heavy rainstorm at Palermo at the time. Emergency procedures were immediately implemented and passengers were deplaned via the emergency chutes and taken inside the airport building. GESAP, the airport management company, said that three persons had been taken to hospital with minor head and nose injuries. The National Agency for Aviation Safety (ANSV) has begun an investigation."
