A Ukraine International Airlines (UIA) plane, which was flying from Lviv to Boryspil airport, had to land at Kyiv's another airport, Zhuliany, where it skidded off the runway.
"A UIA plane carrying out Lviv-Kyiv 34L flight skidded off the runway at Airport Kyiv (Zhuliany). All passengers are safe and sound; the airport was closed until 12:30 local time [on Saturday, January 16]," Zhuliany's information service reported.
The passengers are now at the airport's Terminal D. The plane had to land at Zhuliany due to bad weather conditions in Kyiv on Saturday.
