Most T.F. Green flights on time in aftermath of incident

The morning after a U.S. Airways Express flight slid off a T.F. Green Airport runway, the airport's Web site shows most departing flights on time.

Several, including flights to Newark, Las Vegas, Orlando, Baltimore and Philadelphia, have departed, but two flights to the Midwest were canceled.

Earlier in the morning, the site showed canceled departures to Chicago and Cleveland. Just one canceled departure is now listed, to Charlotte, N.C. A 9:28 a.m. flight to New York City is listed as delayed.

The flight that slid off the runway carried 31 passengers and three crew members from Philadelphia. It slid after landing shortly before 5 p.m., a spokeswoman for Air Wisconsin, a regional carrier for US Airways, said yesterday. No injuries were reported.

While the Federal Aviation Administration and the National Transportation Safety Board investigate, the plane was to remain where it came to a stop and a runway was to remain closed until the investigation finishes.

Reporter's query: Were you on the plane that skidded at Green Airport?

Projo.com and The Providence Journal are seeking passengers aboard US Airways Flight 3758 from Philadephia to Providence last night We'd like to talk to you for a followup story.

If you'd be willing, please contact The Journal newsroom at (401) 277-7303, or pjnews@projo.com with your name and contact information.
