Flights diverted from East Midlands Airport
THIRTEEN flights due to land at East Midlands Airport were diverted after a light aircraft damaged its wheel while landing.

The planes were sent to either Birmingham and Leeds while airport engineers replaced the wheel on the aircraft.

Flights affected were two from Parma and one from Nantes, Faro, Jersey, Guernsey, Arrecife, Brussels, Kos, Alicante, Venice, Barcelona and Fuerteventura.

A spokeswoman for East Midlands Airport said the light aircraft damaged its right-hand wheel while landing but managed to reach the ground safely.

She said it landed at around 2pm, before engineers were sent to fix the wheel and the aircraft left the runaway at 4.20pm.

Passengers boarding outbound flights were also delayed but the spokeswoman said it was only "minimal".
