On Monday 6 March, KLM flight KL713 from Amsterdam to Paramaribo, Suriname, operated by Boeing 777-300ER registered PH-BVC, suffered blowout tyres on landing on runway 11. The aircraft is therefore stuck near the runway.
Passengers disembarked onto the runway and were bussed to the terminal.
As a result of the incident, the airport was closed for hours and an SLM flight had to divert to Guyana.
After the reopening of the airport, restrictions still applied as the aircraft was located very close to the runway and some types of other aircraft cannot turn around.
24 hours later, the Boeing 777 is still in Suriname. It is expected to leave at 19:30 local time on 7 March.
