The single-engine plane, with two people on board, ran off a runway during takeoff, according to airport officials.
One person suffered “moderate” injuries and was taken by ambulance to a local hospital, said Eric Hurst, a South Metro Fire Rescue spokesman. On Wednesday, two planes had runway accidents at the airport.
All three incidents are under investigation by the Denver Flight Standards District Office, said Deborah Smith, an airport spokeswoman.
The general aviation airport does not schedule commercial airline traffic. About 340,000 planes take-off and land annually at Centennial, making it one of the busiest general aviation airports in the country, according to its website.
