According to Scott Humphrey, the airport’s deputy director, shortly after 11 a.m., a pilot of a small corporate jet lost visibility while traveling on the runway and taxied off into the snow.
The runway was shut down while crews dug the airplane out and towed it.
During the shutdown, four or five flights had to be diverted from the airport, Humphrey said.
The runway was reopened around 12:45 p.m.
No one was hurt during the incident.

Airport Deputy Director Scott Humphrey told MTN News that around 11 a.m., the jet taxied about 20 feet off of the runway and ended up in about 2 feet of snow after the pilot's vision was obscured.
Humphrey said the airport was forced to divert four flights and delayed a number of others.
It took crews about an hour and a half to dig out the jet before the runway was reopened.
The jet was undamaged, and there were no injuries.
