Flights into Kenya’s main airport were suspended after a passenger aircraft crash-landed on the runway in the capital Nairobi.
No deaths or injuries were reported at Jomo Kenyatta international airport yesterday (Sunday).
The Kenyan Airports Authority said the Fokker 50 turboprop carrying six people had touched down on its belly after the landing gear failed.
All flights into Nairobi were diverted to the port city of Mombasa.
Airport officials said that the aircraft had been removed and the runway reopened later on Sunday.
The aircraft had been flying from the north-eastern town of Wajir when it made the emergency landing.
The Jomo Kenyatta airport is one of the busiest airports in east and central Africa, serving a daily average of 19,000 passengers from Africa, Europe and Asia, according to the Kenyan Airports Authority.
A huge fire caused by an electrical fault forced it to close for several days in August 2013.
