Panama's
Presidential Plane Makes Forced Landing In Costa Rica
Panama's presidential plane with President
Martin Torrijos, his wife and two cabinet
ministers on board, made an emergency landing
Friday in San José.
Aviation sources say the aircraft suffered
a cracked windshield and was forced to land.
The plane landed safely at Juan Santamaría
International Airport and no one onboard was
injured, said airport spokesman Isaac Peréz.
Peréz said Torrijos and his delegation were
escorted to the airport's VIP lounge.
Torrijos was bound for a two-day visit to
Honduras when the plane's windshield cracked for
unknown reasons, the official said.
Traveling with Torrijos were his wife, Vivian
Fernandez, the ministers of Government, Olga
Golcher, and of Trade, Alejandro Ferrer, as well
as deputy Foreign Minister Ricardo Duran and
security chief Eliecer Suarez, the president's
office said in Panama City.
