A small jet slid off a runway at Chicago Executive Airport during a snowstorm Thursday in northwest suburban Wheeling.
A business jet with two people aboard went off the end of the runway about 11:20 p.m., according to a statement from the Federal Aviation Administration.
The plane was stopped by the runway’s “engineered material arresting system,” which is a graded area designed to stop planes from overrunning the airfield.
There were no injuries, according to Prospect Heights Fire Protection District Chief Drew Smith. Airport staff handled the disabled aircraft, he said.
