Overview
- The Croatia Airlines Airbus A220-300, which aborted takeoff Saturday at Split Airport, veered to the runway edge and came to rest on the grass.
- The airline says all 130 passengers and five crew left the aircraft without injuries and were taken to the terminal.
- Regional photos show an engine close to or touching the grass, and social posts report strikes on a runway marker board and edge lights.
- The jet had been preparing to depart for Frankfurt, and the carrier says the crew followed prescribed safety procedures during the stop.
- Technical checks and official procedures are underway to find what triggered the rejected takeoff, and the airline says it will share more once those reviews finish.
