A passenger plane from Polish carrier LOT skidded off a runway at Vilnius airport in Lithuania after arriving from Warsaw on Wednesday, halting all traffic, the airport operator said.

According to foreign media, all passengers on flight number LO771 disembarked and there were no reports of injuries, the airport said on Facebook.

The Embraer 170 aircraft was carrying 63 passengers and four crew members, a LOT spokesperson said on social media platform X.

“After landing, all passengers safely disembarked normally via the escalator and were then transported to the terminal,” the spokesperson added.

The runway will remain closed until 7pm (17:00 GMT), the airport said.

He advised passengers whose flights were scheduled to depart from Vilnius on Wednesday to contact their respective airlines for further information on individual departures. /Telegraph/
