A flight by an Airbus A380 had to be abandoned after the jet rolled off the runway in Singapore, forcing passengers to be moved onto another plane.
The A380 superjumbo was preparing to take off for Sydney when part of the jet ended up on a grass verge off the tarmac, Singapore Airlines said.
The accident at Changi airport left the plane with minor damage, possibly to the tyres, according to the airline.
The superjumbo's 446 passengers got off without any injuries being reported.
