Birmingham Airport in Britain reopened its only runway yesterday, more than six hours after a small aircraft made an emergency landing due to landing gear failure, leaving one person with minor injuries.
Woodgate Aviation, a private charter firm that is based at Belfast International Airport and owns the Beech B200 Super King Air plane, said in a statement that the ‘main under-carriage collapsed on touch down’.
All people on board the aircraft were discharged by the emergency services.
Check-in services and security screening were temporarily closed, it added.
