The FAA said the plane would be towed off the runway once all passengers exited.
No injuries were reported to the FAA.
It was unclear if the plane skidding off the runway was related to the "airport emergency" issued by the airport. A ground stop was put in place at the facility, halting all air traffic and diverting flights to other airports.
