(Bloomberg) -- Pilots of Vice President-elect Mike Pence’s charter flight landed almost halfway down the runway at LaGuardia Airport before skidding off the end, according to a preliminary report on the October incident.
The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board said the charter flight landed about 3,000 feet down the 7,001-foot runway. Pilots on other planes that had landed previously reported that they had no problems with braking, the NTSB said in the update released Tuesday.
The agency didn’t release any conclusions about the cause of the mishap.
The Boeing Co. 737-700 carrying Pence skidded off the end of a runway at New York’s LaGuardia Airport Oct. 27 after landing hard in the rain. No injuries were reported among the 11 crewmembers and 37 passengers on the flight operated by Eastern Air Lines Group Inc.
The plane, built in 1998, came to rest near the Grand Central Parkway on the southwestern side of the airport after rolling into a bed of crushable concrete designed to halt runaway aircraft.
