An Iran Air plane about to leave for Tehran slid off the runway at Stockholm's Arlanda Airport Saturday but none of the 173 people onboard were hurt.

"Some 100, 150 meters out on the runway (the plane) made a very slow turn and got stuck in the snow on the side of the runway," Arlanda spokesman Jan Lindqvist said, explaining no one was hurt because the plane was moving slowly.

It did not cause any delays at Arlanda as the airport's two other runways were kept open.

The model was an Airbus 300-600.
