Flights resume at Hobby Airport after small plane slides off runway

HOUSTON — All flights were stopped at Hobby Airport Friday after a small jet slid off the runway for several hours. By 3:35 p.m., Hobby airport tweeted that flights had resumed.  

The incident happened around 11:30 a.m. when the plane landed safely, but ended up in the grass, according to airport officials.

Because the plane ended up between the two main runways, no flights could land or take off.

3:35 PM Update: The aircraft has been removed.

Commercial flights have now resumed landing and take-off operations.
Please stay in touch with your airline for updates because delays are still possible.

We appreciate your patience. pic.twitter.com/SIFR8lskqM
