Airlink incident being investigated

What exactly caused an SA Airlink plane to veer-off the runway on take-off in Port Elizabeth yesterday afternoon?

That's what the Civil Aviation Authority wants to find out.

It's launched a probe into the incident after the aircraft carrying 32 passengers left the airstrip and came to a halt about 40-metres.

None of the passengers or crew members was hurt - although some were left traumatised and shaken.

Passengers on the East London-bound flight - have told medics that they heard a loud noise from the left of the plane - as it rumbled down the runway and gathered speed.

It then spun violently and skidded onto the grass.
