A northern Italian airport reopened on Friday (August 5) hours after being temporarily shut down when a cargo plane exited the runway after landing and slid onto a local road, Italy's civil aviation authority ENAC said. <br /> <br />The two-person crew of the aircraft was unharmed and there were no injuries on the ground, ENAC said in a statement. <br /> <br />The DHL-operated 737-400 aircraft, that flew in from France's Charles de Gaulle airport, slid through the airport's fences after landing at Bergamo's Orio al Serio airport north-east of Milan. <br /> <br />Video from the scene showed the aircraft's belly resting on a two-lane road, damaging a guard rail. <br /> <br />The incident happened at just after 0400 local time (0200 GMT) on Friday morning and the airport was reopened by 0700 (0500 GMT). <br /> <br />Although the airport is open, ENAC said travellers flying through should contact the airlines to make sure their flights are operating. <br /> <br />Fire brigade workers were seen working at the removal of the wreckage but there was no information from authorities on when the road would be cleared.
