Cuban Airliner Runs Off Runway In Venezuela

Sixteen People Slightly Hurt In Venezula Incident

The pilot of a Cuban commercial flight taking off from Venezuela Monday aborted take-off when one engine caught fire -- but ran out of runway before he could bring the aircraft to a stop. Sixteen people were hurt, none seriously.

"The plane never took off. It could not reach the required speed for takeoff, forcing the pilot to try to keep the plane on land. But the runway ended," said Jose Cabello, director of the international airport in Caracas. He was quoted by the Associated Press.

The Cubana de Aviacion Ilyushin IL-18 was departing Simon Bolivar Airport near Caracas when the engine caught fire.

"It was going to take off but couldn't and swerved off the runway," an air traffic controller at the airport told Reuters.
