Two planes slide into snowbanks in heavy winds at Kittilä Airport

Two aircraft were involved in separate runway incidents at Kittilä Airport in Finnish Lapland on Saturday afternoon. Both planes veered into snowbanks during taxiing due to strong winds. No injuries were reported. The incident occurred after 16:00, when a Swiss International Air Lines Airbus A220-300 carrying about 150 passengers slid off the taxiway following its arrival from Geneva. Around the same time, a smaller business jet operated by Nextant Aerospace with fewer than 10 passengers was also pushed off course by the wind.
