The jet veered off the runway after touching down, prompting airport staff to activate emergency procedures and deploy rescue teams.
All nine passengers and two crew members were safely evacuated, with no injuries reported.
The incident happened at Toluca International Airport near Mexico City, Mexico, after the aircraft arrived from Aguascalientes on Tuesday (20 Oct).
According to the airport authorities, the plane landed at 12.04pm local time after reporting electrical problems that affected its steering and braking systems.
It then suffered a runway excursion that prompted an immediate response from the airport’s rescue and firefighting service, operations staff and other authorities.
The airport confirmed that all 11 people on board were evacuated in a controlled operation and taken to the facilities of FBO Performance, a private aviation terminal.
In an official statement, the airport said all occupants were safe and there were no injuries to report.
The runway was temporarily closed as a precaution to allow emergency teams to deal with the situation and carry out safety checks, as reported by Need To Know.
Airport officials said the resumption of operations would depend on safety conditions and the completion of the necessary work.
The investigation into the cause of the electrical failure is ongoing.
