A plane has slipped off a taxiway at Heathrow Airport, lodging its front wheel in a grassy area, BBC reported Monday.
The incident, which happened when the Cyprus Airways flight 332 landed at 0820 GMT and was moving to Terminal 1, occurred due to the snow blanket and the ice that covered the land.
Fortunately, there were no casualties or injured passengers. They all have been immediately evacuated from the aircraft.
British Airways cancelled all its flights until 1700 GMT due to the bad meteorological conditions.
"Heathrow's full snow operation (consisting of 58 snow cutters, ploughs and de-icers) has been working around the clock since 3pm yesterday on double shifts to clear the snow and ice," a spokesperson for the company explained.
However, attempts at clearing the runway, where snow was up to 20cm deep in places, had been hampered by continuous snowfall.
London has seen the heaviest snowfall in 18 years with up to 6cm of snow reported at Heathrow Airport.
