The incident happened during landing and involved a flight arriving from Boston.
A Cape Air Cessna 402C skidded off the runway at Provincetown in Massachusetts on 15 June, stopping on grass with its landing gear appearing to have at least partially collapsed.
The aircraft had been operating Cape Air flight 2111 from Boston when it “departed the paved surface” of Provincetown Municipal’s runway at about 08:00 local time, says Cape Air.
“The passenger onboard was escorted into the airport terminal,” the airline adds without providing more information about the incident.
The FAA confirms three people were aboard the aircraft and says it is investigating.
Local media reports say the three people included one passenger and two pilots, and that one person was transported to the hospital, though no serious injuries were reported.
A news outlet also reported that the aircraft was smoking but that there was no sign of fire.
Provincetown Municipal was the site of a Cape Air accident in September 2021, when a 402C hit trees and crashed, injuring seven people seriously. The US National Transportation Safety Board attributed the crash to the pilot deciding too late during a landing attempt to go around, leaving the aircraft unable to clear trees.
Nearly surrounded by water, Provincetown sits at the northernmost tip of Cape Cod. The city’s airport has a single 3,502ft (1,067m)-long northeast-southwest runway that stretches across dunes and scrub land, close to the sea.
Cape Air operates a fleet of nearly 100 small passenger aircraft, including 62 402Cs, 30 Tecnam PC2012 Travellers and five Britten-Norman BN2 Islanders, according to fleet data provider Cirium.
