'Tired and upset' passengers told to get off diverted plane as Cardiff Airport incident sees another flight cancelled

Passengers travelling to Cardiff have reportedly had to get off their flight after it was diverted to Bristol following an incident at Cardiff Airport on Sunday.

Travellers on the Wizz Air flight from Corfu to Cardiff earlier today saw their plane forced to divert to Bristol after an incident involving a light aircraft at Cardiff Airport at around 1.35pm today. The airport said its airfield was closed for nearly an hour after a light aircraft went off the end of the runway during landing.

It said no injuries were sustained and there was no damage to the aircraft. The Department for Transport and Air Accidents Investigation Branch were notified and the runway reopened at 2.30pm after the aircraft was moved to safety.
