A passenger plane with 173 people on board has overshot the runway in the Philippines with dramatic images showing it stricken.
Korean Air added that there were no injuries and all passengers had evacuated safely after the botched landing at Cebu International Airport.
The Airbus SE (AIR.PA) A330 widebody flying from Seoul to Cebu had tried twice to land in poor weather before it overran the runway on the third attempt at 11pm (4pm BST), Korean Air said in a statement on Monday.
"Passengers have been escorted to three local hotels and an alternative flight is being arranged," the airline said of flight KE361. "We are currently identifying the cause of the incident."
Video from the scene verified by Reuters showed widespread damage to the plane.
The nose landing gear appeared to have collapsed.
Korean Air President Keehong Woo issued an apology on the airline's website, saying a thorough investigation would be carried out by Philippine and South Korean authorities to determine the cause.
"We remain committed to standing behind our promise of safe operations and will do our very best to institute measures to prevent its recurrence," Woo said.
The A330-300 jet involved in the accident was delivered new to Korean Air in 1998, according to flight tracking website FlightRadar24, which said that other flights to Cebu had diverted to other airports or returned to their origin.
The Cebu airport said on its Facebook page that it had temporarily closed the runway to allow for the removal of the plane, meaning all domestic and international flights were cancelled until further notice.
Korean Air has not had a fatal passenger crash since 1997, according to Aviation Safety Network, a website that compiles aviation accidents.
The airline had a poor safety record at that time but sought outside help from Boeing Co (BA.N) and Delta Air Lines Inc (DAL.N) to improve its standards.
Yesterday, a Su-30 Russian warplane crashed into a house in Russia, killing two people.
The casualties were believed to be the pilots as earlier reports suggest they had suffocated in the cockpit during the test flight.
The plane fell nose-first into a suburb of Irkutsk city while on a test flight from the Irkutsk Aviation Plant, with video footage catching the moment of the explosion into a residential house in Siberia.
Three children were said to have been evacuated from the two-storey building hit by the out-of-control Su-30 in the Novo-Lenino micro-district of Irkutsk.
