THE RUNWAY at Birmingham Airport has reopened.
Thousands of passengers are still facing disruption after all flights were suspended yesterday (August 6) due to an “aircraft incident”.
A light aircraft was forced to do an emergency landing at the airport while en route to Belfast International Airport when developed landing gear problems.
In a statement the airport said: “Following the aircraft incident, the runway has reopened and operations have resumed.
“All passengers must check flight details with their airlines and follow advice issued by them. We understand the frustration and apologise for the disruption this has caused.
“Our teams have worked as quickly as possible in line with strict protocols, which must be followed to ensure a safe reopening of the runway following a prolonged closure.”
