Doncaster Airport shut down by problem with executive jet

Robin Hood Airport, near Doncaster in South Yorkshire, said the incident happened at 10.20am today and involved a Citation 10 jet.

Two crew members were on board but they were not hurt.

In a statement, the airport said the plane made a normal landing after arriving from London Luton Airport and appeared to have suffered a problem with its starboard main undercarriage as it was taxiing on the runway.

It said: "The airport's Rescue and Fire Fighting Service immediately attended the scene as a precaution; however, the incident was stood down shortly after.

"There were two crew on board, both of whom are uninjured; however, the aircraft remains adjacent to the runway and as a consequence the airport currently remains closed.

"Work is expected to be under way shortly to move the aircraft from its present location prior to the airport re-opening, possibly later this afternoon.

"Passengers due to travel from the airport should contact their airline for the latest information regarding their flight."
