Originally, the airport was estimated to reopen on Tuesday at noon, however, an update from officials reports that if the investigation goes according to plan, the earliest operations could resume would be Wednesday evening.
Provo City officials said the private plane crashed"immediately after takeoff" around 11:35 a.m. One person died at the scene, another was taken to the hospital with critical injuries, and two other people received “what appears to be minor bumps and bruises.”
Provo Airport manager Brian Torgersen said the aircraft only made it about 10 feet off the ground before going down. Torgersen was one of the first on-scene. He said it was “incredible” two people were able to walk away.Due to the closure, Allegiant Air has had to cancel nine flights that were scheduled to either depart from or arrive at the airport. An Allegiant spokesperson said the company is reaching out directly to passengers on these flights to offer a refund or a rescheduled ticket.
