No deaths or injuries have been reported at Jomo
Kenyatta International Airport
Flights into Kenya's main airport
have been suspended after a passenger plane crash-landed on the runway in the
capital Nairobi.
No deaths or injuries have been reported at Jomo Kenyatta International
Airport on Sunday.
The Kenyan Airports Authority said the Fokker 50 turboprop plane carrying six
people had touched down on its belly after the landing gear failed.
All flights into Nairobi are now being diverted to the port city of Mombasa.
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, acting as an important transport hub for both passengers and goods
across the continent.
It serves a daily average of 19,000 passengers from Africa, Europe and Asia,
according to the Kenyan Airports Authority.
