A private aircraft veered off the runway while landing at Misrata International Airport in Libya on Monday, prompting a temporary suspension of air traffic.
None of the three crew members on board was injured in the incident.
All three occupants are safe, and no injuries were reported. Relevant services have initiated operations to extinguish the fire and secure the area.
An investigation has also been launched to determine the exact circumstances of the accident and identify the potential cause.
Authorities are expected to examine the condition of the runway and the circumstances under which the aircraft landed.
Air traffic at Misrata International Airport was temporarily suspended until midnight on Monday to allow for necessary checks and to ensure the runway’s safety.
The closure also allows specialised teams to complete operations related to the incident.
The Ministry of Transport stated that these measures aim to ensure air navigation safety before traffic resumes.
The Civil Aviation Authority is expected to release further information once initial investigations are complete. No casualties have been reported at this stage.
