Philippine aviation authorities are investigating the rough landing of a Cebu Pacific aircraft after passengers were forced to wait some 15 minutes to get off the disabled aircraft.
The Airbus A320-200 overshot the runway on Sunday in stormy weather and landed on its nose. Davao International Airport remains closed because of the stuck plane.
Civil Aviation Authority Deputy General John Andrews said today (June 4) that the pilots’ error probably caused the accident. None of the 165 passengers was injured, but several complained about the slow response.
Davao Mayor Sara Duterte said that the airport delayed alerting city emergency services and denied quick access to the passengers.
Cebu Pacific President Lance Gokongwei has apologised but defended the crew.

It's a good thing there is no casualty involved in this incident, that is the most crucial factor.
