According to an announcement from the airport, no injuries were reported.
The incident occurred at approximately 11 a.m. local time as the general aviation aircraft was departing from runway 1L, according to the statement issued by the airport.
Following the incident, airport officials closed runways 1L and 1R for safety inspections. Travelers were warned to expect delays and advised to check directly with their airlines for updates.
