CALGARY- A runway at the Calgary International Airport had to be shut down for a number of hours when the front wheel of a WestJet flight went off the tarmac after landing.

An airport spokesman says no one was hurt when the accident happened shortly before 8 p.m. on Tuesday.

The plane had just arrived safely from Los Cabos, Mexico when the nose wheel slipped off along the east runway.

The passengers were taken by buses to the airport terminal.

There was no immediate word on the number of people aboard, or what caused the accident.
