A light private aircraft carrying four passengers, including a business man skidded while attempting to land at Tekek Airport in Pulau Tioman on Thursday. All on board were slightly injured. Textile businessman Datuk Anuar Hassan, 48; his wife Datin Siti Norlaila Abu Bakar, 46; Anuar's personal assistant Muhammad Abdul A’lim Salleh, 28; and pilot Wan Mohd Faizul Rizal, 35, suffered bruises and scrapes in the 12.50pm mishap. The Cirrus 9M-ZWR, which is owned by Anuar, had departed Senai airport in Johor and was headed to Pulau Tioman, where the entrepreneur was to attend a business meeting. But a heavy cross-wind buffeted the airplane as it attempted to land, causing it to skid off the runway, crash through the airport’s fencing and come to a stop next to a grassy embankment. However, it is learnt that despite the accident, the airport is now operating as normal.
