ROCHESTER, N.Y. (WROC) — An American Airlines plane carrying passengers from Philadelphia slid off the runway Thursday as it was landing at New York’s Fredrick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport.

Brian Potvin, who was returning to Rochester on flight 5811 from a vacation in Miami, said everything seemed fine with the landing — at first.

“So the plane lands like a normal landing, and then we were coming around a turn and I guess the runway was icy, and when we came around the turn, we skidded off into the grass. I felt we were in the grass once we were in a complete stop, but then the plane slightly tilted to the side,” he said. “The plane never tilts to the side. We kind of knew something was wrong at that point.”

Potvin said the pilot asked all passengers to remain in their seats as emergency crews assessed the scene.

“I didn’t panic, but it was like, will it tilt over more, ya know? Is everything going to be OK? And then I think everyone else stayed calm. We all were kind of calm in that moment, and then it was kind of stress and frustration: When are we going to get off this plane, ya know?” he said.

Potvin said it was ultimately about 90 minutes before crews brought the passenger stairs so they could deplane.

According to a notice sent by American Airlines to passengers on the flight, the plane landed safely and was taxiing toward the terminal when it slid off the runway due to icy conditions.

Of the 50 passengers and three crew members on board, none reported any injuries.

American Airlines released a statement Thursday evening:

“After landing safely in Rochester (ROC), American Eagle flight 5811, operated by Piedmont Airlines with service from Philadelphia (PHL) to ROC, exited the taxiway while in transit to the terminal due to snowy airfield conditions. Safety is our top priority, and we apologize to our customers for their experience. Everyone on board deplaned safely and was transported to the terminal by bus.”

American Airlines spokesperson

American Airlines said the plane would be taken out of service for a full inspection after it was towed from the taxiway.

A number of flights were delayed Thursday evening, according to the ROC airport flight tracker.

Casey Mills, who was also impacted by delays and cancellations, said she was headed to New Orleans on a Southwest flight with a connection in Baltimore.

“Cancelled it basically because they still have the next flight going out maybe around 9 tonight, but that means you have to spend the night at the Baltimore airport, unfortunately, and I’m just not really willing to do that at the moment, so I am rescheduled at 4:45 tomorrow hopefully,” Mills said on Thursday.

It was unclear as to how much the runway incident impacted those flight delays.
