Very sad news to that Beech King Air G-NIAA made an Emergency landing at Birmingham Airport shortly after take off from there. The Aircraft was due to depart to Belfast but quickly returned to Birmingham Airport. Upon landing the main landing gear collapsed and the aircraft landed on it belly. All persons on board where treaded by medics at the scene, but all seem to have come out OK.
As a result of this many holiday makers are unsure when their holidays will begin. All departure have bee cancelled and many in bound flights have either diverted to other airport in the United kingdom or have simply just been cancelled.
Upon writing this I've heard the runway will need to be resurfaced. Many airlines tomorrow are using larger aircraft to try and help the back log of stranded passengers, many of which have also missed their connecting flights.
