An airport near Cambodia's famed Angkor temples was closed Wednesday after a Vietnam Airlines jet overshot a runway in foul weather and plowed into a nearby field, a manager at the facility said.

None of the 98 people aboard the Airbus A320 from Ho Chi Minh City was injured in the accident Tuesday evening at Siem Reap International Airport. However, the plane lodged into the ground and the facility must remain closed for about a day until the plane is dragged out of the way, the airport manager said.

The plane "ran off the runway after landing under adverse weather conditions," said a statement from Khek Norinda, manager of Cambodia Airport Management Services Ltd., which operates the airport.

"The entire aircraft is stuck into the ground and experts are on the field to remove the A320 by lifting it up and dragging it back on the runway."

Ten flights _ eight of them international _ were canceled late Tuesday and the airport was closed until further notice, Khek Norinda added.

Mao Has Vannal, the head of Cambodia's civil aviation authority, said authorities were launching an investigation into why the aircraft failed to stop and ended up 50 meters (164 feet) from the runway.

"We cannot say yet if there was any malfunction of the system (in the aircraft)," he said.

"We will do everything to remove this aircraft, because the longer it is blocking flight traffic the more tourism income we will lose," he said.

Siem Reap is home to ancient Angkor temples, which server as Cambodia's main tourist attraction and earn hundreds of millions of dollars every year for the impoverished Southeast Asian nation.

Mao Has Vannal said the Siem Reap airport receives direct flight from 14 foreign airline companies in Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Singapore, China and South Korea.

In 1997, a Vietnam Airlines Tupolev TU-134B crashed while trying to land during a rainstorm at Phnom Penh International Airport after a flight from Vietnam. One passenger _ a toddler _ survived while 65 others were killed.

Siem Reap is about 225 kilometers (140 miles) north of the Cambodian capital, Phnom Penh.
