A Boeing 737-300 of Merpati Nusantara Airlines sustained a damaged engine after hitting a stray cow while landing at Merauke-Mopah Airport.
The impact of the collision damaged the plane’s left engine but all of the jet liner`s 141 passengers were safe and unharmed.
“The calf was running fast from Jati kampong which is located east of the airport, so the plane could not avoid hitting the animal,” a spokesman said.
The airport was not yet fully fenced due to financial constraints.
