Staff and agencies42 mins ago
Some 172 people, including 23 crew members, were on board the Airbus 300-600 when it swerved off the runway and glided some 130 yards (100 meters) into the snow. Everyone was safely evacuated, Arlanda airport spokesman Anders Bredfall said.
"Everyone has been safely evacuated and will be flown tomorrow instead," Bredfall said.
Bredfall said the incident was not expected to cause any major delays to other scheduled flights.
