There were no serious injuries when the front landing gear collapsed on the plane.
The collapse of the landing gear on the Red Air flight led to a fire.
Three people were taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries, he said. The other passengers were being taken to the airport.
The fire crews had put the fire under control and were handling fuel spills.
TV news images showed the plane resting in the grass next to the runway and the area around it being sprayed with white firefighters' chemicals. There were at least three fire trucks nearby.
Passengers were told to check with airlines for details after the airport experienced some flight delays. The collapse of the landing gear appeared to be the cause of the fire.
A team will arrive at the airport by Wednesday to investigate the fire.
