Plane Skids Off Runway at Airport in Germany

AP: A jet headed for Spain’s Canary Islands came off the runway at Dortmund airport in western Germany on Sunday, but no one was injured, authorities said.



The pilot of the Air Berlin Boeing 737-800, with 165 passengers and six crew members on board, had decided to abort the takeoff because of a “technical irregularity” that is still being examined, airline spokeswoman Diane Daedelow said.
