All flights in and out of Jersey Airport were suspended for a time this afternoon after a plane overshot the runway.
The 1973 Piper PA-28 Cherokee light aircraft came off the western end of the runway as it was coming in to land at 2:17 PM on Tuesday afternoon.
The four-seater private plane set off from Albert-Picardie Airport in northern France.
It was brought to a stop by the soft gravel 'arrestor bed' surface at the end of the runway designed to stop out of control aircraft.
Four people were on board at the time - two adults and two children. They all escaped any injuries.
Most of Jersey's flights today have already been cancelled or rescheduled because of the foggy weather.
