A passenger aircraft from Polish carrier LOT veered off a taxiway at Lithuania's Vilnius airport after arriving from Warsaw on Wednesday, halting all traffic, the airport operator said.
All passengers from flight number LO771 disembarked and there were no reports of injuries, the airport said on Facebook.
The Embraer EMBJ3.SA 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 mobile stairs and were subsequently transported to the terminal," the spokesperson added.
The airport's post on Facebook also said that the passengers have since collected their baggage and departed the airport following the incident.
The runway will remain closed until 7 p.m. (1700 GMT), the airport said.
It advised passengers whose flights were scheduled to leave from Vilnius on Wednesday to contact their respective airlines for further information on individual departures.
