Oct. 6—A regional jet went off a taxiway Wednesday evening at the Dayton International Airport shutting down the airport until further notice.

Air Wisconsin Flight 3818 from Washington, D.C. to Dayton, operating for United Airlines, went off the taxiway sometime after 7 p.m., said Linda Hughes, air service manager for the airport.

The aircraft involved is a Bombardier CRJ200 regional jet, which seats 50 people.

Hughes said there were 45 people aboard, including the flight crew, and that there were no reported injuries.

"It was a blessing that everyone was fine," she said.

Passengers were being loaded onto buses to carry them to the terminal.

It is not clear when the airport will reopen.

The incident is under investigation.

In scanner traffic, crews said that there may have been some damage to one of the plane's wings due to clipping a pole, but Hughes said she couldn't confirm that report.

We will update this story with any new information.
