Southwest Airlines Updates Runway Excursion Incident At Chicago Midway

Flight Exited Runway Upon Arrival ... No Injuries Reported

Southwest Airlines' Flight 1919 exited the runway at Chicago's Midway Airport while landing at approximately 1333 CDT Tuesday. The aircraft, a Boeing 737-700, arrived from Denver International Airport, where it had departed at 0956 MDT.


File Photo

The preliminary passenger list, still subject to verification, indicates that the aircraft carried 134 passengers, five lap children, and five crew members. Initial reports are that no one was injured. The passengers were safely deplaned from the aircraft using air stairs and bused to the terminal. The airline is making outreach to each passenger onboard the flight to refund their roundtrip and issue them two complimentary roundtrip passes as a gesture of goodwill.

Southwest officials are in direct contact with the NTSB and the FAA as they perform an investigation into the cause of this incident.
