A private jet which took off from Singapore’s Changi Airport skidded off the runway after landing at New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido on Friday (Dec 12) evening.
The incident occurred shortly at about 6.40pm, reported Kyodo News Agency and Japan’s NHK broadcasting network.
There were five passengers on board, including a small child, along with three flight attendants. No injuries were reported, according to firefighters who rushed to the scene.
The aircraft’s fuselage was not damaged and there was no fire, added NHK.
One of the New Chitose Airport’s two runways was closed, but other aircraft operation were not affected, according to Japanese broadcaster HBC News, which posted a video of the aftermath on its YouTube channel.
The aircraft appeared to have overshot the runway upon landing, coming to a stop on snow-covered ground.
