A light plane suffered a runway excursion after landing at Cardiff Airport. The airport was closed for one hour. A spokesperson from Cardiff Airport has confirmed a light aircraft went off the runway while landing just after 1.30pm today, resulting in the airfield being closed for nearly an hour. Here's their statement in full:
"At 1.35pm today, July 3, a light aircraft had an incident on landing at Cardiff Airport. The aircraft went off the end of the runway, resulting in the airfield being closed for just under an hour.
"Both the pilot and aircraft are fine with no injuries sustained and the aircraft remaining intact. The Department for Transport & Air Accidents Investigation Branch were notified and permission was received for the aircraft to be moved to safety from the end of the runway, allowing the airport to re-open our runway at 2.30pm.
"Disruption has been limited to one Wizz Air flight diverting to Bristol and some minor delays to operations for the afternoon. We are expecting all other activities to return to normal as soon as possible."
The Piper PA-28-140 was undamaged and left Cardiff Airport at around 17.30 for the returned journey to Oxford.
