"The aircraft drifted to the edge of the runway."

He said there was no permanent damage to the aircraft and no passengers were injured.

During an inspection of the plane, two tires were found damaged and mud was discovered on the aircraft's fuselage.

All passengers disembarked as normal, the airline said.

The A320 would fly back to Singapore later today.

A NEWS.com.au reader said the plane “left the runway and blew a tyre and scraped the ground”.

Another reader, who was booked on the plane’s flight back to Singapore yesterday, said the airline put him up at a motel while another flight was organised. “We’ve been told that technical difficulties in Siem Reap have caused the cancellation for a full 24 hours,” he said last night.

The airline spokesman said all passengers were later put on another flight.
