An American Airlines Boeing 777-300ER encountered an issue at Charlotte Douglas International Airport (CLT) on February 11, after arriving from London Heathrow Airport (LHR). The incident occurred during the taxi phase when the aircraft's left main gear went over soft ground while turning onto taxiway A. Despite this, the plane continued to taxi to the apron without further complications.
The Aviation Herald reported that the aircraft landed on runway 36R and experienced a sharp turn onto the taxiway. The Federal Aviation Administration stated, “Aircraft landed and while turning onto taxiway, left wheel went into the grass, Charlotte, NC.”
