The landing gear of a FlyBe airplane collapsed during landing at Amsterdam’s Schiphol airport on Thursday, causing it to veer off the runway.

There were no injuries, said the airport authorities.

It was unclear if a heavy storm over the North Sea had played a role, said a spokesman.

All 59 passengers and crew were brought from the runway to the terminal by bus.
