An airport in Southwest China's Yunnan province was forced to close temporarily after a Boeing 737 was stranded after mechanical failure.

The Yunnan-based Lucky Air jet came to a stop on the runway in Kunming Airport while trying to take off, forcing the airport to close from 14:50 to 15:03.

The airport returned to normal operations after the airliner was towed away.
