An Indonesian passenger plane carrying 130 people has skidded off the runway after landing at Yogyakarta airport in heavy rain, the latest mishap to hit the country’s aviation sector.

Services to and from Yogyakarta were axed, with flights supposed to arrive at the busy airport diverted to the nearby city of Solo.

Yogyakarta airport has faced criticism for its poor safety record. In 2007, 21 people were killed when a Garuda plane overran the runway and burst into flames while landing there.
