Flight operations at Geneva Airport (GVA) will likely remain suspended through at least 21:00 Dec. 13 following a minor aviation accident. A small private aircraft reportedly was involved in a runway excursion on landing at the facility at about 18:30, prompting airport officials to close the runway. No injuries were reported in the incident.
Authorities have as yet given no official estimate as to when the airport will resume operations; however, flight disruptions will probably persist for several hours after the runway reopens.
