Incidents

  • On January 16, 2009, while performing a training flight, a school's Piper Cherokee suffered a sudden shutdown from its engine, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing at the Tijuana International Airport. The aircraft maneuvered and landed safely at the airport, but the aircraft had suffered other damages. Aviation was closed for almost an hour at General Aviation Terminal of the airport. The two people on board were safe, with only few scratches.[1]
