The smaller runway at Palm Springs International Airport was closed Sunday after an unspecified “incident” involving a small plane.
All four people on the plane were safe, and other flights continued to operate normally as the airport’s main runway remained open, airport spokesperson Jake Ingrassia said.
He did not say what time the incident happened or offer any details. On Sunday afternoon, a plane with moderate damage was visible on the tarmac, resting nose down with its right wing bent.
Ingrassia directed questions to the National Transportation Safety Board. Spokespeople there could not immediately be reached.
According to Federal Aviation Administration data about the tail number listed on the plane, it’s a SR22T manufactured by Cirrus Design Corp.
