An airport has launched an investigation after it was forced to close its runway when the undercarriage of a light aircraft collapsed.

Norwich Airport said the private plane carrying two people was diverted to its runway at about 13:50 BST on Sunday after it reported issues with its landing gear.

A spokesperson for the airport said a “limited” investigation was under way, while the Air Accidents Investigation Branch described the incident as “serious” and said it had begun a safety investigation.

The two people onboard were helped from the aircraft without injury, and the airport was back operating as normal, the spokesperson added.

A flight to Amsterdam was cancelled and a TUI flight from Tenerife was diverted to Stansted while the runway was closed.

The runway reopened at about 16:30.

A spokesperson for the East of England Ambulance Service said: “One ambulance and a paramedic car were sent to Norwich Airport this afternoon following reports of a light aircraft in difficulty.

“Two persons were assessed at the scene, but no ambulance transport was required.”
