PASSENGERS on a Pegasus Airlines plane are thanking their lucky stars after their aircraft pulled up just metres from the icy cold Black Sea in Turkey.
Upon landing, the plane skidded off the runway and came to a stop in a thick layer of mud (pictured) on the edge of a cliff.
The incident happened on Sat at Trabzon Airport in the north eastern part of the country.
Some 162 passengers and six crew members were on board the Boeing 737-800, which had departed the Turkish capital Ankara on the one hour flight.
Pegasus said in a statement that none of the passengers or crew were injured in the incident.
