Simonas Bartkus, head of marketing at Small Planet Airlines, told BNS that it was unknown yet what had caused the plane to veer off the runway onto a grass verge after landing at the airport following its flight from Paderborn, in Germany.
Bartkus said that none of the 98 passengers on board had been injured.
"The plane veered off the runway while it was taxing to the terminal after landing and stopped on the grass. The passengers were not injured. We are currently looking into the causes," he said.
According to Bartkus, the Airbus 320 is being inspected by the company's own experts and hired experts, who may present their findings in a week or two.
"Small Planet Airlines has replacement aircraft. Therefore, this (incident) will have no impact on our operations," he told BNS.
Small Planet Airlines has a fleet of 15 Airbus aircraft.
Small Planet Group, a company owned by Vytautas Kaikaris and Andrius Staniulis, owns 100 percent of shares in the charter airline.
