One person has died after a plane broke into three pieces during a rough landing at a Turkish airport.
The Pegasus Airlines aircraft skidded off the runway at Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen airport on landing, crashing into a road. Footage showed serious damage to the plane’s fuselage, which appears to be cracked in three places.
Turkey’s health minister, Fahrettin Koca, said one person had died in the incident, while 157 of the 177 passengers on board were being treated in hospitals across the region for various non-life-threatening injuries.
Unusually for a low-cost carrier, it has a mixed fleet of Boeing 737 and Airbus A320 series aircraft. It also offers connecting flights through its hub, with a wide range of destinations available from Stansted via Istanbul.
