Belfast City Airport’s runway will be closed for the rest of Sunday after an Aer Lingus plane suffered an emergency incident while landing during strong winds. The plane had flown from Edinburgh to Belfast at about 16:00 GMT with four crew members but no passengers on board. Pictures appear to show the aircraft with a collapsed nose wheel sitting on the runway, but fortunately, no-one was seriously hurt. The flight was a “positioning flight” operated by Emerald Airlines on behalf of Aer Lingus, and Emerald Airlines mentioned that the incident was due to adverse weather conditions. Two flights that were supposed to land at Belfast City Airport have been diverted to Belfast International Airport.
