West Atlantic UK flight NPT028P, a Boeing 737-322 (SF), suffered a failure in a hydraulic system after takeoff from Isle of Man-Ronaldsway Airport (IOM). The aircraft returned and landed safely, 28 minutes after takeoff. Due to loss of steering capability, the aircraft stopped on the runway. As it landed, a large amount of hydraulic oil was also deposited on the runway.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch was informed and the aircraft quarantined (not able to be recovered in case a full investigation is required) for review.
With amount level of hydraulic oil on the runway and the quarantining of the aircraft, the evening's remaining flights were cancelled. The aircraft was released from quarantine at about 10.30 pm.
The aircraft was safely removed off the runway for further recovery work when specialist parts can be transported from the UK). After the aircraft was removed, a team were deployed through the night to inspect the runway and clear up the extensive amount of oil, the runway reopened around 6.40 am today.
