Cardiff flight diverted to Bristol Airport after plane goes off the runway

An aeroplane flying from Corfu has been diverted to Bristol following an incident at Cardiff Airport. A light aircraft had trouble during landing around 1:30pm this afternoon and ended up going off the end of the runway.

No one was injured and there was no damage to the aircraft but as a result a Wizz Air flight was diverted to Bristol. Passengers are - at the time of writing - still sitting on board the aircraft in Bristol waiting to find out what happens next.

The airfield at Cardiff was closed for almost an hour, reports Wales Online. The Department for Transport and Air Accidents Investigation Branch were notified and the runway reopened at 2.30pm
