A commercial jet carrying British Prime Minister Tony Blair overshot a runway at the Miami International Airport on Tuesday, but the plane was not damaged and no injuries were reported, officials said.

British Airways Flight 209 from London ran over a couple of airfield lights after landing around 6:30 p.m., airport spokesman Marc Henderson said.

The plane did not leave the pavement and returned to the gate under its own power, he said.

Blair was among the 343 passengers on the plane, but no additional information about his trip was available, U.S. Secret Service spokeswoman Kim Bruce said.

It was not immediately clear why the Boeing 747 overshot the runway, Henderson said.

However, British Airways later blamed poor markings at the airport.

Blair receives Secret Service protection whenever he lands in the U.S., Bruce said.
