They said a fuel spill occurred as a result, but was cleaned up shortly after.

Tyler MacAfee , a spokesperson for James Richardson International Airport says,

“Because it all happened on the private aircraft side of the airport, we don’t have the same visibility as we would if they were planes in our terminal or something like that. That’s why the TSB comes in and they assess the situation and decide where they’re going to go from there. ”
