Belfast International airport has started receiving aircraft again after flights were suspended this morning when a freight plane was stuck on the runway.
The airport has warned of “significant disruption” and advised passengers to check the status of their flights before departing.
The airport’s managing director Graham Keddie said the aircraft had landed “right at the wrong time” and “stopped right in the wrong place”.
"A freight air coming in to land just before 6am had a number of burst tyres and had to stop right in the junction of both our runways," Keddie told the BBC.
"We can’t move it in case there’s damage to the under carriage so basically we’ve had to recalculate the mass to see what level of runway we can operate off.
"We’ve managed to get the first wave of aircraft out but unfortunately our inbounds have been cancelled so far and we’re hoping to get some in shortly."
