The George Charles Airport on the outskirts of Castries, St Lucia remained closed today after a small aircraft crashed while attempting to land.
The St. Lucia Star reports that the incident took place at 11 a.m. yesterday.
The St Lucia Air and Sea Port Authority (SLASPA) said the pilot, Silvanus Ernest, who was alone on the twin engine Cessna A421 aircraft, escaped injury.
The St. Lucia Star reports that Ernest was on his way to Barbados from St. Lucia when he ran into trouble and upon his return to the airport realized his landing gear was faulty. He landed after three previous attempts.
Authorities have not given any indications when the airport will reopen and CMC is reporting that several flights to the island have been affected.

People it is an acciendent, we should be happy that guy made it out alive. This incident is not connected to Dominica in any way.
Relax and drink some coconut
Leave Government and politics out of it for a change, please. Just thank God that the pilot escaped scot-free.
Why is it that no matter what the topic, politics has to be brought in?
This incident can happen anywhere (look at JFK earlier this week), this is not a political story.
Get with it and let us move on to get the country on a sound footing.
Can’t anything happen in or out of Dominica without all you include politics? All you that have Dominica so!
