An airplane overshoots runway at Shonai Airport in Japan

TOKYO, Dec. 9 (Xinhua) -- An airplane overshot the runway at the Shonai Airport in Japan's Yamagata Prefecture late Saturday and injured no one.

The flight, which belongs to All Nippon Airways Co., was from Tokyo's Haneda airport to the Shonai airport.

The plane's automatic braking system did not work after landing at the airport. The pilot put on the brake manually, but most of the plane's body overran the runway, according to the company.

About 161 passengers and six crew members were on board. No one was injured and the plane was also not damaged, said the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism.

It was snowing at the time of the accident. The plane hovered more than an hour over the airport before ground crew finished snow removal.
