A German government plane with no passengers on board was blocking the runway after a rough landing at one of Berlin's airports on Tuesday, forcing authorities to divert other aircraft during the busy Easter travel season.
The German air force, which operates the government fleet, said both wings of the Bombardier Global 5000 jet touched the runway as it landed at Schoenefeld airport after turning back because of a malfunction.
It said the crew was undergoing medical checks.
The plane had been at Schoenefeld for maintenance and was headed back to its base in Cologne.
The city's airport operator tweeted that flights headed for Schoenefeld were being diverted because of an "inoperative aircraft on the runway."
