Singapore Airlines jet veers off runway
A Singapore Airlines jet with 143 passengers and 14 crew on board veered off the runway after landing at Munich Airport yesterday. No one onboard was injured.
The Boeing 777 came to rest on grass at the edge of the runway.
SIA said the flight, SQ327, was en route to Singapore from Manchester.
The south runway at the airport was closed for a time while the incident was investigated.
In another incident overnight, engine trouble forced a Qantas jet travelling from Singapore to London to divert to Dubai.
Pilots shut down one engine of the Airbus A380 about 90 minutes after takeoff, a Qantas spokeswoman said.
QF31 left Singapore for London at 12.32am local time on Friday.
Comedian, actor and presenter Stephen Fry was on board the diverted Qantas flight and made several colourful Twitter entries about his experience.
