The airport was closed all day on Friday after two accidents on Thursday. First, a Gulfstream business jet broke its landing gear, aborting a takeoff for Dubai. Then, a crosswind hit a Turkish Airlines Boeing 737 arriving from Istanbul, pushing it off the runway and breaking its landing gear. No one was injured in either accident. Faced with a long delay, SkyUp bused its Egypt-bound passengers to Kherson, a 3-hour drive. Odesa airport is building a replacement runway, a slow-motion project that may be completed next year.
