Scheduled to take off from Budapest Airport in Hungary, the airline confirmed that the plane had suffered "minor damage" as a result of the collision.

Those onboard the aircraft were then disembarked from the plane, where they waited a further seven hours before a replacement flight was organised to Edinburgh Airport.
