Koca said two of the wounded are currently under intensive medical care but none of them is in critical condition, Xinhua news agency reported.
Istanbul Governor Ali Yerlikaya said in a new tweet that the accident happened at 6.19 p.m. local time when a plane of Turkey's Pegasus Airlines with 183 people on board skidded off the runway shortly after landing.
He told reporters earlier at the airport that the plane could not grasp the runway because of bad weather conditions, and fell toward a road from a height of 30-40 meters.
Press reports said there are still people trapped under the wreckage of the plane and the rescue operation is continuing.
