Iran Air plane carrying 102 passengers and 8 crew members slipped off the runway and plunged into a snow-covered clearing.

The Airbus A319 departs from Mehrabad airport in the capital Tehran this morning, according to the Iranian Civil Aviation Organization. While landing at Kermanshah Municipal Airport later, the plane slipped off the runway, plunging into a snowy clearing next to the runway.

No people were injured in the incident. Local media released a video showing the plane was not damaged, while passengers moved off the plane by ladder.

The governor of Kermanshah said the A319 had landed "without problems", but one of its wheels "slipped" while running on the runway. He said that the cause was heavy snowfall and more and more errors encountered.

A similar incident occurred last week in the city of Mahshahrm when the McDonnell Douglas MD-83 carrying 136 people of Tehran-based Caspian airline exceeded the runway and slid into the highway, leaving several people slightly injured.

A day ago, Qeshm Air passenger aircraft en route to Tehran were forced to return to Gorgan airport in northern Iran because one of the engines caught fire shortly after takeoff. The plane had to make an emergency landing and 85 passengers were evacuated safely.
