Four flights which had been due to land at Belfast City Airport have diverted to Belfast International this evening.
A spokesperson for Belfast International Airport : “Following the incident at Belfast City Airport this afternoon we have taken four diverted flights.
“As we already had a heavier schedule than usual, we are now, with these additional flights, close to capacity so we are limited in how many more redirected flights we can take this evening, however we will continue to support where possible.
“Our website will carry the most up to date information for arrivals and departures and if anyone has any queries they should be directed to the airlines.
“Given the circumstances, our teams on the ground are working to help these additional flights as quickly as possible. We would ask for passengers' patience as we support each additional flight."
