Trinidad airport reports a mishap- South Africa cricketers and ICC officials stranded

The ongoing T20 World Cup 2024 has been facing its fair share of issues and pitch controversies. The weather also hasn’t really helped their cause, with rain being a constant threat. Now, South Africa, is the latest to fall victim to it, as a landing failure of a private aircraft at the Grantley Adams airport in Barbados resulted in the whole squad, their families, commentators, match and ICC officials being stranded at the Trinidad airport.

The South African team, commentators and officials were informed that the tentative rescheduled time was 4:30 PM local time, which would amount to nearly six hours of delay.

In a statement, Sharleen Brown, Corporate Communication Specialist with GAIA said, “It appeared that the landing gear of the private aircraft did not deploy, but it is currently on the runway at GAIA [Grantley Adams International Airport] safely.”

She also added that both the passengers on board and the pilot were unharmed.
