Airport sources said no injuries had been reported, but personnel were “in the process of responding.”
Traffic was set to be halted for more than two hours to around 9:00 pm, a spokesman told the 20 Minutes news site after the jet missed the main runway on landing and flew onto an adjacent grass verge.
An unspecified number of planes were re-routed to other airports, with traffic temporarily suspended at what is Switzerland’s second-busiest airport after Zurich and notably a hub for low-cost operator Easy Jet.
