Ground crews towed the <a href=\"https:\/\/aviationa2z.com\/?s=777\">Boeing 777<\/a> back onto the runway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Swiss International Air Lines confirmed that all 319 passengers remained unharmed throughout the incident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airline will conduct a thorough examination of the aircraft for potential damage. An investigation into the circumstances surrounding the emergency landing and subsequent runway excursion is underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The airline said: &#8220;SWISS confirms that the crew of flight LX161 from Tokyo to Zurich made a stopover in Astana (Kazakhstan) due to a medical incident on board. The passenger concerned was handed over to medical personnel on-site. The landing was uneventful.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It further wrote: As the taxiway at Astana airport was closed, the crew had to turn the aircraft on the runway. The aircraft&#8217;s nose wheel got caught in the grass. The aircraft had to be towed back onto the runway. The Boeing 777 aircraft will now be examined by specialists for damage.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We are now working at full speed to fly our passengers from Astana to Zurich or their destination asap. As rebooking options in Astana are limited, the possibility of sending a new aircraft and crew from Zurich is also being examined. There were 319 passengers on board,&#8221; added the airline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Stay tuned with us.
