None of the four passengers or two crew members were injured in the landing, which was executed on a dual carriageway around five kilometres from the airport.
People who saw the landing and its aftermath shared footage and photos of the unusual occurrence online.

The landing, which the aeroplane’s owners Super T said was due to a “loss of power of unknown cause”, stopped traffic for more than nine hours.
It was eventually moved at around 3pm.
