Nine passengers and two pilots escaped serious injuries after an Air Fiji plane hit the Sun Air Office in Matei, Taveuni this morning after it failed to stop after landing.
Civil Aviation Authority of Fiji CEO Netava Waqa confirmed to Fijivillage this afternoon that no one was injured and their teams are now in Matei investigating the matter.
Waqa also confirmed that the CAAFI team will return tomorrow with updates on the accident as there are no flights available at this stage.
