YOGYAKARTA - A Sriwijaya Air airplane skidded off runway in Yogyakarta on Tuesday at 5.30 p.m., but all passengers were safe.

Hendri Susanto, a passenger, said the aircraft, carrying 129 passengers, left Jakarta at 1.45 p.m. and scheduled to arrive in Yogyakarta's Adi Sucipto Airport one hour later, but was forced to land in Surabaya following bad weather in Yogyakarta and nearby city of Surakarta.

After the weather returned to normal, the airplane flew to Yogyakarta, but it ended with the accident.

"All passengers are panicked. We just wanted to get out of the plane quickly," Hendri said as quoted by tribunnews.com.
