Police spokesman Jaap Hage told The Associated Press a Turkish Airlines 737-800 had crashed in a field next to a runway.

The plane, Flight TK1951, left Istanbul's Ataturk Airport at 8:22 am. (0622 GMT).

An airport spokeswoman told Dutch NOS news that all flights to and from Schiphol had been suspended.

NOS quoted a local reporter, Onno Beukers, as saying that the wreckage was lying in a field next to the runway and that emergency services were treating passengers in the field.

A photo shown by the NOS showed the plan lying in three pieces in the muddy field. It did not appear that the plane had caught fire after the crash.
