Officially I can't give details and must refer you to the press office.


But to give you a clue it wasn't that major at all and the runway was reopened in around 30 minutes.

Heard it too. I had just done an ILS approach and was climbing back up to 2000' when I heard the Ryanair call, followed by the controller saying that he might have to put him in the hold at EME due to an aircraft possibly going off the runway.

Hope everyone is ok.
