A passenger jet skidded off the end of a runway at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport, but a spokeswoman for WestJet says there were no injuries. The city and much of the province were enveloped in a snowstorm for much of Sunday.

The eastern half of the province, including the region east of Halifax, was under a winter storm warning when the jet landed. Heavy snow and whiteout conditions were evident at the airport soon after the plane came down.

The airport authority confirmed though social media that the aircraft was left disabled at the end of Runway 14/32 and passengers were being removed from the stricken airplane.

The airline confirmed Flight 248 was en route from Toronto to Halifax and had landed on Runway 14 when the jet skidded off the end of the runway with 172 passengers and seven crew members aboard.

Photos from the scene show emergency vehicles and buses near the aircraft.

“It is off the end of the runway … no injuries,” said WestJet spokeswoman Morgan Bell.
