The runway system was temporarily closed at Spokane International Airport Sunday after an inbound flight lost traction and began sliding after a landing.

Around half a dozen flights are impacted by the closure which is expected to last until 4 p.m.

118 passenger were aboard the Southwest Airlines Flight 485, which originated in Albuquerque then traveled through Portland before landing in Spokane.

Passengers aboard the 737 say the landing felt normal when they suddenly felt the tires slipping, and plane seemed to spin 90 degrees.

No damage was reported to the aircraft, and no injuries were reported.

I’m glad Israel is paying the extra cost.
I learn something new every day.
I always thought the cost was included
in the ticket.

Thanks MamaDearest.
