Passengers travelling to Belfast City Airport have made their way home for Christmas despite disruption. The airport reopened to flights on Monday, a day after its runway closed when a plane was damaged in a "hard landing ".

It had flown from Edinburgh to Belfast with four crew but no passengers on board. The crew were assessed at the scene by the emergency services as a precaution, but there were no reported injuries. Almost 40 flights in and out of Belfast City Airport were disrupted as a result of the emergency - some were cancelled and the rest were diverted to other airports.

An Aer Lingus flight was involved in an incident as it landed at Belfast City Airport this afternoon, with the runway now closed and passengers urged to check with their airline
