A flight landing at O'Hare International Airport slipped off the runway while taxiing to a terminal Wednesday morning, a Chicago Department of Aviation spokesman confirmed.
American Eagle flight 4332, arriving at the Chicago airport from New Orleans, slid partially off the runway just before 9 a.m. after landing in the rain, spokesman Greg Cunningham said.
The nose gear remains partially on the grass, Cunningham said, and the rest of plane’s body is on shoulder pavement on Runway 27 left.
“American Eagle Flight 4332 from New Orleans to Chicago, operated by Republic Airlines, landed normally and safely this morning at Chicago O'Hare International Airport," airline spokeswoman Mary Frances Fagan said in an email. "While taxiing to the terminal at O'Hare, the aircraft exited the taxiway and the nose gear of the plane ended up in the grass."
Passengers were deplaned on the runway and bussed to the terminal. No injuries were reported, Cunningham said.
The runway was closed Wednesday morning, but Cunningham said the closure likely won't delay other flights.
The NTSB was notified and the plane will stay in place for an indefinite amount of time, Cunnin
