A plane went off the runway Friday morning at Westchester County Airport, prompting a two-hour suspension of flights, officials said..
Officials said the plane, a Gulfstream jet, ran off the end of the main runway into a grassy area due to poor visibility as it landed just after 8:30 a.m. No one was injured.
Airport flights were suspended so the plane could be towed.
Flights resumed around 10:45 a.m., officials said.
Some incoming flights were diverted to other New York area airports; officials did not know exactly how many.

HARRISON - A private plane skidded off the runway at Westchester County Airport on Friday, December 11.
Airport officials say a Gulfstream G-4 was coming in for a landing at 8:30 a.m. when, for unknown reasons, it veered four feet off runway 16 and ended up on the grass.
The pilot and co-pilot were the only ones on the plane. Officials say no one was hurt.
A heavy tow truck pulled the plane back to a hangar.
The runway was shut down for two hours causing dozens of flights to be delayed.
An investigation is underway as to what happened, but officials say fog most likely may have played a role in the landing.
