An investigation has been launched after a LATAM Airlines plane’s nose was destroyed and the plane was forced to make an emergency landing at its destination in Paraguay.
Flight LA1325 was flying between Santiago de Chile and Asuncion on Wednesday when it got caught in a storm.
Photos posted online showed the tip of the plane’s nose destroyed and cracks on the front windshield after landing.
Passengers and crew were unharmed.
The plane’s journey got off to a bumpy start, after having to make an unscheduled stop at Brazil’s Foz do Iguaçu airport due to poor weather conditions over its destination in the Paraguayan capital Asuncion, according to a LATAM Paraguay statement.
