Thai carrier Nok Air says one of its planes has skidded off a runway in northeastern Thailand, but none of the 25 passengers and crew aboard were injured.
The airline says the incident today involved a SAAB 340B turboprop chartered by Siam General Aviation Company Ltd., which is known as Nok Mini.
The flight left the northern city of Chiang Mai and was landing at Undon Thani airport at the time.
Nok Air blamed "a glitch in the engine" but gave no other details. The airline says the plane is not blocking other flights and will be inspected.
