After landing, the plane skidded off the runway and split in two, writes The Guardian.
Nobody was injured and only one crew member underwent a medical examination as a precaution, DHL reported.
The plane was heading for Guatemala when a hydraulic system malfunction caused the pilot to request an emergency landing shortly after takeoff, said Luis Miranda Munoz, deputy director of the Costa Rican Civil Aviation Authority.
