A twin-engine commercial cargo aircraft crash-landed at Douglas-Charles Airport on Tuesday, 11 November 2026, and the airport was closed briefly following the incident. The aircraft belongs to FedEx and was operated by Mountain Air Cargo.
The landing incident interrupted air traffic at Dominica's main international gateway while the airfield was cleared and checked. Operations were later restored after the closure, which was described as brief.
The source material does not state whether anyone was injured or killed in the incident. Nor has a cause for the crash-landing been confirmed in the information available at this time. Residents and travellers who are seeking information on flight schedules or delays are advised to check directly with their airline or the airport authorities for the latest updates.
Douglas-Charles Airport, located in the north-east of the island and named after a former Dominican Prime Minister, serves as the principal air link for Dominica with the wider region and the diaspora. Any disruption to its operations, however brief, affects passengers, freight and the island's supply chains.
