MANILA, Philippines?(UPDATE) A plane of the domestic Seair airline swerved out of control while landing at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport at around 12:33 p.m. on Sunday.

Connie Bungag, chief of the Manila International Airport Authority's media affairs division, quoted initial reports saying that the accident involving Seair Flight DG-0624 took place at Runway 13.

The plane, an RPC-6328 aircraft, swerved out of control before stopping at a grassy area on Marker 4 of the runway. Fire and rescue, operations, and medical and safety teams from the MIAA rushed to the area.

Nobody among the 32 passengers and three crewmen was injured. The passengers were loaded to a shuttle and transferred to the domestic passenger terminal.

Flight DG-0624 came from Caticlan Airport in Aklan. It was piloted by Captain Aldrin Sabana, with a certain Capt. Yu as co-pilot.

The accident came less than a month after a hard landing by a Seair plane at Caticlan airport forced flights there to be briefly suspended.

In January, at least two passengers were seriously injured when a small plane operated by Zest Airways missed the runway on landing and smashed into a concrete wall at the Caticlan airport.
