An AirAsia aircraft skidded off the runway at Malaysia's Kota Kinabalu airport as it came in to land after arriving from Kuala Lumpur.

The Boeing 737-300 aircraft skidded onto the grass at the south end of the airport's runway. No major injuries or fatalities were reported among the 110 passengers but the aircraft's pilots and a five-year-old girl were said to have suffered minor injuries.

A spokesperson for the Department of Civil Aviation said that the aircraft's nose wheel was now stuck in boggy ground and that it may take some time to move the aircraft, reports The Star Online.
