A Korean Air Lines Co Ltd (003490.KS) jet with 173 people on board overran the runway at Cebu International Airport in the Philippines late Sunday, the airline said.

It added that there were no injuries and that all the passengers were evacuated safely.

The Airbus SE (AIR.PA) A330 widebody flying from Seoul to Cebu had tried to land twice in poor weather before it overran the runway on the third attempt at 23:07 local time, Korean Air said in a statement on Monday.

“Passengers have been escorted to three local hotels and an alternative flight is being arranged,” the airline said.

“We are currently identifying the cause of the incident.”

The A330-300 jet involved in the accident was delivered new to Korean Air in 1998, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, which said that other flights to Cebu had diverted to other airports or returned to their origin.
