An Asiana Airlines aircraft overran a runway at a Japanese airport Tuesday evening, leaving 23 passengers with minor injuries, according to officials and reports.

Asiana flight 162 slid off the runway at Hiroshima Airport at 8 p.m, about one hour after it departed from Incheon International Airport, an Asiana official said.

Eighty one passengers and crew members were on board the jet, according to Kyodo News. All of the passengers and crews escaped from the aircraft.

Runways at the airport were shut down after 8:20 p.m.

The accident came about two years after an aircraft of the Korean airliner crashed at San Francisco International Airport in July, 2013, killing three Chinese passengers and injuring more than 180 people. Compensation lawsuits filed by the passengers against the airline are pending at U.S. courts.


아시아나기 히로시마공항 활주로 이탈…23명 경상

승객 중 한국인 50명…'활주로 부근 설비에 접촉 가능성'

14일 아시아나항공 여객기가 일본 히로시마(廣島) 공항에 착륙하면서 활주로를 벗어나는 사고가 발생, 23명이 부상했다고 교도통신이 보도했다.

오후 6시49분 인천공항을 출발한 아시아나항공 162편(에어버스 A320기)은 오후 8시께 히로시마 공항에 착륙한 뒤 활주로를 오른쪽으로 벗어나 정지했다. 

사고기에는 한국인(50명)과 일본인(24명) 승객 74명·승무원 7명 등 총 81명이 탑승했으며, 이 중 승객 23명이 가벼운 부상을 당했다고 교도는 전했다. 

승객과 승무원은 전원 기체에서 탈출했다. 이 사고의 영향으로 히로시마 공항 활주로는 오후 8시20분부터 폐쇄됐다. 

NHK의 영상에 의하면, 사고후 약 2시간이 경과한 오후 10시 현재 긴급 출동한 작업용 차량이 항공기 주위에서 작업을 진행 중이다. 

여객기가 착륙할 때 기체 뒷부분이 활주로에 접촉해 불꽃이 나왔다는 공항 측의 통보가 소방 당국에 접수됐다고 NHK는 전했다. 

또 교도통신은 히로시마공항사무소와 히로시마현 경찰을 인용, 이 사고로 여객기 왼쪽 주날개의 일부가 손상됐고, 엔진에서 연기가 나온다는 정보가 있다고 보도했다.

사고 원인과 관련, 국토교통성 관계자는 여객기가 착륙할 때 활주로 부근의 지상 설비에 접촉했을 가능성이 있다고 말했다. 

이 사고의 영향으로 히로시마공항을 오가는 항공편이 잇달아 결항되거나 도착지를 변경했다. (연합뉴스)
