Police, fire and ambulance crews all went to the runway as the emergency developed. Three people on board the aircraft were treated at the scene, one suffering minor injuries, West Midlands Police said. Passengers faced hours of delays, even after the runway reopened, including many in Europe trying to fly back to Birmingham.

Some passengers say they were left stranded with no one to contact, after the 'incident with a light aircraft' on the runway. | ITV News Central
