Similar Incident<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

On August 29, 2023, Canadian carrier Sunwing Airlines (WG) Boeing 737 MAX <\/a>8, operating as flight WG645 from Holguin (Cuba) to Montreal, QC (Canada<\/a>), experienced an incident while taxiing for departure on runway 23.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the lineup procedure, the aircraft exceeded the designated turn pad area and entered the runway shoulder, causing the right main gear to sink into the asphalt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a result, the aircraft became immobilized, leading to the closure of the aerodrome overnight. Due to this situation, several aircraft inbound to Holguin had to divert to alternate destinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft was successfully towed back to the apron the following morning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The aircraft involved in the incident is the Boeing 737 MAX 8, registered as C-GMXH<\/strong>, which is one of the latest aircraft added to the fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
