Ten people were injured after a Boeing plane skidded off a runway in Senegal’s capital. <\/p>\n

The Air Senegal flight operated by TransAir was headed to Bamako in neighbouring Mali and 10 of the 85 people on board were injured as a result of the incident, Transport Minister El Malick Ndiaye said.<\/p>\n

“Our plane just caught fire,” wrote Malian musician Cheick Siriman Sissoko in a post on Facebook <\/a><\/strong>that showed passengers jumping down the emergency slides at night as flames engulfed one side of the aircraft.<\/p>\n

Screams can be heard in the background. Passengers have either been taken to hospital or to a hotel to rest and recover.<\/p>\n

The Aviation Safety Network published photos of the damaged plane in a grassy field, surrounded by fire suppressant foam, on X.<\/p>\n

One engine on board the Boeing 737-300 appeared to have broken apart and a wing was also damaged, photos published by the Aviation Safety Network, which tracks airline accidents, on social media purport to show.<\/p>\n

The airport reopened on Thursday morning after closing overnight.<\/p>\n

Boeing referred a request for comment to the airlines.<\/p>\n

It was the third incident involving a Boeing <\/a><\/strong>airplane this week.<\/p>\n

On Thursday, 190 people were safely evacuated from a plane in Turkey after one of its tyres burst during landing at a southern airport, Turkey’s transportation ministry said.<\/p>\n

And a day earlier, footage emerged of a Boeing cargo plane landing nose-down on a runway at Istanbul Airport<\/a><\/strong> after its landing gear failed to deploy, according to Turkish authorities.<\/p>\n

The company has been under intense pressure since a door plug blew out of a Boeing 737 Max <\/a><\/strong>during an Alaska Airlines flight in January, leaving a gaping hole in the plane.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The Federal Aviation Administration in February gave Boeing 90 days to come up with a plan to fix quality problems and meet safety standards for building planes after the accident.<\/p>\n

The incident has raised scrutiny of Boeing to the highest level since two crashes of Boeing 737 Max jets in 2018 and 2019 that killed 346 people.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
