BRANSON, Mo. (AP) — A Southwest Airlines moody that was scheduled to arrive Sunday night during Branson Airport in southwest Missouri instead landed during an airfield about 7 miles northeast — with a runway about half a distance of a dictated destination.
Southwest Airlines Flight 4013, carrying 124 passengers and 5 organisation members, was scheduled to go from Chicago’s Midway International Airport to Branson Airport, airline orator Brad Hawkins pronounced Sunday in a statement. But a Boeing 737-700 landed during Taney County Airport, that is also famous as M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport.

“The alighting was uneventful, and all business and organisation are safe,” Hawkins said.

In November, a Boeing 747 that was ostensible to broach tools to McConnell Air Force Base in Wichita, Kan., landed 9 miles north during Col. James Jabara Airport. That craft was flown by a two-person organisation and had no passengers.
The website for M. Graham Clark Airport says a longest runway is 3,738 feet. Branson Airport’s website says a runway is 7,140 feet long.
“The alighting was unequivocally sudden and a commander practical a brakes unequivocally strongly,” Dallas profession Scott Schieffer, who was on a flight, told WFAA-TV. “You could hear it and we could positively feel it.”
Flight tracking website Flightaware.com pronounced a Southwest moody landed during 6:11 p.m. Sunday. It was partly pale and in a high 50s in Branson during that time.
“Our belligerent organisation from a Branson airfield arrived during a airfield to take caring of a business and their baggage,” Hawkins said.
Flight 4013 had been scheduled to go from Branson to Dallas’ Love Field. Hawkins pronounced a craft was flown in privately to Branson Airport around 10 p.m. to take a passengers and organisation to Dallas, that flightaware.com showed landed during 11:42 p.m.
Hawkins told The Associated Press that a aircraft during M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport will be means to take off on a smaller runway, and Southwest expects to fly it out “as early as tomorrow morning.”
The Taney County Sheriff’s Office referred all calls to M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport. Messages left for criticism from M. Graham Clark Downtown Airport were not immediately returned.
