Plane skids off runway at JFK; airport closed..

Delta's twin-jet Connection (Delta)

A Delta jet skidded off the runway at John F. Kennedy International airport shortly after landing, the Federal Aviation Administration said.

There were no immediate reports of injuries but the New York airport is now closed due to ice and snow, airport officials said.

The Delta Connection 4100 flight originating from Toronto's Pearson International Airport landed safely at JFK shortly before 8 a.m. and was exiting the runway when it slid into the snow, the FAA said. According to ABC News, there were 35 people on board.

The plane, a CRJ-200, is operated by Endeavor Air.

The incident comes a day after a single-engine plane made an emergency landing on the Major Deegan Expressway in the Bronx. No one was seriously injured in that incident.

Following JFK's closure, flights at New York's LaGuardia Airport were temporarily halted due to icy conditions. Both LaGuardia and JFK are expected to reopen at 11:30 a.m.
