A Caribbean Airlines flight crashed on landing at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport shortly at around 01:30 this morning.

The aircraft literally ran out of the runway and crashed through the perimeter fence before falling to the roadway beyond the fence. It broke in two, the break occurring in the area that accommodates the first class cabin.

There were no fatalities but at least two passengers sustained broken legs while several others suffered lacerations and other injuries.
