13 Years Ago Today: The Runway Overrun Involving American Airlines Flight 331

Looking back to when a Boeing 737-800 overran the runway at Kingston Airport in Jamaica.

In just three years Rex has launched a new domestic jet operation from scratch and now has nine Boeing 737s flying to eight cities across Australia.

The airline has nearly 100% of the market share on its routes in the Pacific region.

Japanese officials classified the incident as ‘serious’ and have launched an investigation.

The carrier plans to operate the route to test how the market responds.

The airline will use the Airbus A320 and Boeing 737-800 on the routes.

The 143 passengers, six crew, and truck driver were unharmed

City by city around Australia, Rex has steadily developed a national domestic network that will soon include nonstop transcontinental flights.

Rex is already Australia’s most reliable airline, and business class passengers can also expect the best business class for half the price.

The aircraft was forced to go-around and attempt a second landing at Chicago O’Hare International Airport.
