At least two flights experienced momentary delays at Ninoy Aquino International Airport in Manila on Tuesday morning when an incoming Saudi Airlines flight 866 got stuck in the runway for 10 minutes.

Airport ground safety crews towed the plane away after its pilot reported losing steering control of the landing gear system after consuming three quarters of the 3.7-km landing runway.

No one was reported injured in the accident. Delayed flights were an incoming Eva Air plane from Taipei and an outgoing Philippine Airlines provincial flight.
