Solomon Star newspaper
An eye witness Joseph Abana told the Solomon Star that he was at the eastern end of the airport when the incident occurred.
Abana claimed the aircraft was hit by a strong wind to its right side when it was about to land.
“When it landed its tyres appears to have collapsed so it slides on its right side till it stops near the domestic terminal.
“Its right wing also crashed to the ground and as a result damaged its turbine engine.”
He said it took some few minutes before the fire service responded and rushed to the scene.
“Fortunately the crash did not ignite fire and none of the three crews on board were injured.”
Mr Abana also called on the aviation fire service to pull up their socks and to be on alert every time.
