A passenger plane skidded off the runway after landing in Iceland amid a cold snap on Sunday.

The easyJet flight from London Gatwick to Keflavik touched down safely and was able to slow down to taxying speed.

The flight was operated by an Airbus A320neo (reg. G-UJEB).

But it then veered off the taxiway and came to a stop with its nose over a grass verge.

Passengers were able to get off, but the jet has been taken out of service.

A replacement jet has been scrambled in time for the return journey, while an investigation into the incident has been launched.
