An aircraft with 98 passengers on board ended up on a grass verge after it went off the runway following its landing.
The plane was making its way to the terminal at Birmingham Airport when it "manoeuvred" off the tarmac, said officials.
Once it stopped, all passengers were safely taken off the Airbus A320 and transferred to the terminal.
No-one is thought to have been injured.
The fire service and other emergency teams were at the scene but the single runway was fully operational throughout the drama.
The plane, operated by Small Planet Airlines, had arrived from Paderborn in Germany when the incident in Bickenhill, Solihull took place.
It was towed out of the grass about two hours later, and back on to the taxiway.
In a statement, the airport said: "An A320 aircraft belonging to charter company, Small Planet, has manoeuvred off the taxiway into grass after landing from Paderborn.
"Passengers have safely disembarked and have been bussed to the terminal. There are no reports of injuries."
