Narrative:
Aeroflot flight SU1963, a Boeing 737-800, suffered a runway excursion after landing at Moscow's Sheremetyevo Airport in Russia. No injuries were reported.
The aircraft landed on runway 24L. Preliminary information suggests that the nose landing gear slid off the side of the runway or taxiway as the aircraft attempted to vacate the runway. The nose landing gear rolled 1,5 meters past the runway end.

Meteorological conditions during landing: wind 280° at 3 m/s; visibility 6000 m; light snow showers; considerable scattered clouds at an altitude of 1200 m, cumulonimbus clouds; temperature minus 10°C; dew point minus 11°C; pressure QNH 1008; runway 24L covered with wet snow from 50 to 100%; precipitation layer thickness up to 3 mm; runway friction coefficient 0.37.

Landing on runway 24L was carried out using engine reverse thrust and normal braking. After landing, the crew continued taxiing to clear the runway. During the process of vacating the runway via taxiway A5, making a 90° left turn, the aircraft's nose landing gear veered onto the ground from the paved part of the taxiway to a distance of 2 meters from the paved surface. As a result of the incident, the crew and passengers were unharmed, and the aircraft sustained minor damage (scratches on one door of the nose landing gear).
