Journalist Jet Damazo-Santos tweeted: “Just landed in kalibo on an AirAsia flight that overshot runway. “Nobody seems to be hurt. Weather was bad because of #senangph Plane came to a very abrupt stop.
“Engine was shut immediately, we were told to leave bags, deplane asap. Firetruck was waiting. Seems handled well.”
According to pictures tweeted by Ms Damazo-Santos, elderly passengers on board the flight had their blood pressure checked after they disembarked the aircraft. AirAsia said in a statement: “AirAsia Philippines confirms flight Z2272 from Manila skidded off the Kalibo International Airport runway at 5.43pm (8.43pm AEDT) upon landing.
“All 153 passengers and crew were able to disembark safely, no injuries reported. All passengers are now at a hotel assisted by AirAsia staff.”
AirAsia Zest is a domestic carrier, partly owned by AirAsia Philippines – the Philippine affiliate of AirAsia, a low-cost airline based in Malaysia. The mystery of AirAsia flight QZ8501 which went missing on Sunday has been solved after dozens of bodies were found in the Java Sea along with a “shadow” believed to be the stricken aircraft.
Just days ago, an AirAsia Zest plane developed a tyre problem in the central Philippine city of Tagbilaran while its 184 passengers and crew were boarding.
The airline then cancelled the flight to Manila.

This is going to be a long wait. They wont unload baggage until the plane is towed to a proper parking slot.
