A small business jet veered off the runway after landing at Narita Airport on Thursday afternoon and came to a stop on nearby grass, airport officials said.

The aircraft, identified as a HondaJet, had departed from Shizuoka Airport and landed at Narita around 1 p.m. local time when it left the runway during landing. Three people were on board, and no injuries were reported, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
