A Flybe plane from Edinburgh has been evacuated after its landing gear collapsed during touchdown.
The incident took place following the flight's arrival at Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport on Thursday afternoon.
Pictures on social media showed the plane leaning on one side with the wing touching the ground and emergency services at the scene.
No passengers were hurt and they were taken to the airport terminal following the incident.
Schiphol Airport tweeted: "The landing gear of a Flybe airplane collapsed during touchdown.
"No people are injured. Flight operation is up and running again."
A Flybe spokesman said: "Flybe can confirm that there has been an incident involving one of our aircraft, flight no BE1284.
"The aircraft departed from Edinburgh at 2.10pm local time bound for Amsterdam.
"The incident occurred at Amsterdam Schiphol Airport at approximately 4.59pm local time (3.59pm GMT).
"We can confirm that there are no injuries and all passengers have been bussed to the airport terminal.
"Our primary concern is for the welfare of the passengers and crew."
All 59 passengers on board the plane later left the airport to continue their journeys, Flybe confirmed.
It said all of the passengers will be contacted and offered support by the airline team, which will remain in contact with them over the next few days.
Flybe chief executive Christine Ourmieres-Widener said: "Our pilots regularly train for situations such as this in simulators at our training academy in Exeter.
"Our cabin crew are also fully trained to deal with these situations professionally.
"We have sent a specialist team to offer assistance to the investigation and we will now do all we can to understand the cause of this incident."
