(Adds airport re-opens) CAPE TOWN, Nov 2 (Reuters) - Cape Town International Airport was re-opened after the removal of an aircraft which had veered off the main runway after landing, a South African airport official told SABC radio on Friday. "I can confirm ... that the plane is now off the runway, the airport has been declared open and flights from outstations have been cleared to take off into Cape Town airport," Bongani Maseko, director of airport operations at the Airports Company South Africa (ACSA), told SABC radio. He said officials were talking to South African Airways to establish what had happened to its plane. None of the 300 passengers on board the Airbus flying from Johannesburg was injured. They disembarked safely after the incident took place before the aircraft was moved, Robyn Chalmers, SAA's spokeswoman said in a statement. Cape Town is one of South Africa's prime tourist destinations for foreign and domestic visitors. "It's business as usual but we do have a backlog of flights, most of them domestic and luckily no international flights, that we have to clear," General Manager of Cape Town International Airport, George Uriesi, told Reuters.
