The flight carried a total 420 passengers and crew who were all safe and unhurt. The airline also offered hotel accommodation to a total of 356 passengers.
The plane landed at Runway 06-24 at 1:47 p.m. but when its six right landing gears veered off the pavement at the end portion of Taxiway Charlie onto the grassy portion while en route tits parking bay in NAIA Terminal 1.
This caused the wheels to get stuck in the process.
