Emergency crews were scrambled to the incident on the runway on Sunday (December 22)
Flights from Manchester were cancelled on Sunday amid an 'emergency' incident at Belfast City airport. Fire crews attended the runway following an incident involving an Aer Lingus aircraft. Emergency services were scrambled to the scene shortly after 4pm with other flights diverted to Belfast International Airport . This was due to the flight suffering a 'hard landing' - a nose wheel collapse - due to 'adverse weather conditions'.
