厦门航空一架客机降落时脱离跑道
A passenger plane from China's Xiamen Airlines skidded off the runway and onto grass when it landed at the Manila international airport early Friday.
中国厦门航空一架客机周五早间在马尼拉国际机场降落的时候脱离跑道进入草坪。
A source at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) told Xinhua that the Boeing 737-800 plane landed at around 12:05 a.m. Friday local time (1605 GMT Thursday) when the accident occurred.
Another source said the MF8667 flight from Xiamen circled Manila for about an hour before landing.
The aircraft's wings and engines were heavily damaged as a result of the accident, according to the source.
The source added the plane apparently missed the runway's center line when it landed, making it swerve to the grass safety area.
So far no casualties have been reported.
