An aircraft has run off the taxiway at Birmingham International Airport causing diversions for other flights.

The Britannia Airways 767 was carrying nine crew on a flight from Manchester.

No one was injured but incoming flights have been re-directed to other airports and departures have been delayed.

An airport spokesman said he did not expect those delays to be significant and passengers should check-in as normal.

The incident occurred at about 1710 GMT on Tuesday.

The plane landed safely and was taxiing when its nosewheel came off the tarmac.

The airport spokesman said: "We are operating a reduced length runway.

"The plane has been removed but there will be some delays because incoming flights have been diverted."
