A fokker of the Ecuadorean airline Icaro sits at the end of the runway of Quito's Mariscal Sucre airport on September 22, 2008. The plane, with 62 people on board, slid off the runway and forced the closure of a terminal building, the company said, without saying if there were casualties. "We have no information about victims. The mishap happened as the plane was taking off for the city of El Coca" in the east of Ecuador, said Icaro airline spokesman Edy Gongora.
