Manila, July 15 (IANS) A Philippine Airlines (PAL) propeller plane overshot the runway at an airport in Palawan province, the airline company said.
All 53 passengers and four crew members were safely deplaned, the company added on Sunday.
The plane, travelling from Cebu to Palawan, overran the runway upon landing at Busuanga airport before 3 p.m. local time amid poor weather conditions, PAL said.
The aircraft stopped on a grassy area beyond the concrete runway, causing the airport's closure, and forcing incoming flights to be diverted to other airports, Xinhua news agency reported.
PAL said it is working with related authorities to restore normal operations in Busuanga airport.
The Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines is expected to investigate the incident.
