Incident Update @ 12.30

Following the aircraft incident that occurred at London City Airport this morning at 08:35 we can confirm the runway is still closed. The Airport is now working with the aircraft operator, CityJet, to organise the recovery of the disabled aircraft, we expect this to take several more hours.

London City Airport would like to thank all the emergency services for their efforts this morning. All emergency services have now been stood down.

On landing at 08.35 the aircraft tyres burst. We can confirm the aircraft safely came to rest at the eastern end of the runway and all 55 passengers and 5 crew on board have been safety transported to the terminal.

An investigation into the cause of the incident is underway and will continue once the aircraft has been fully recovered.

We recommend all passengers travelling via London City Airport today contact their Airlines directly for further travel information.
