The Pegasus Airlines Boeing 737-800 aircraft carrying 168 passengers and crewmembers had a “runway excursion incident” while landing at the Trabzon Airport, the airline said in a statement on Sunday. Passengers on the jet told state-run news agency Anadolu there was “panic” and “screaming” when the aircraft careened off the runway. We could have burned, exploded, flown into the sea," Gordu said. “We’ve taken all necessary measures,” Yavuz told Turkish media. “We will re-open the airport to airport traffic as soon as possible.”Pegasus Airlines also did not provide further details on what caused the jet to skid off the runway.
