Airport incident delays flights

Flights to and from Edinburgh Airport were affected after a light
aircraft's wing struck the runway as it landed.

The incident, which happened at about 1115 BST, involved an ST75 "wing
walker" which had taken part in the East Fortune airshow on Saturday.

A spokeswoman for BAA said it was forced to close the runway as a
result. It reopened just after midday.

Two flights coming in were diverted to Glasgow and Prestwick, while
three were waiting to take-off.

The spokeswoman said the diverted flights were a Ryanair flight from
Frankfurt, which went to Prestwick, and a flight from Charles de
Gaulle, which landed at Glasgow.
