It's a bittersweet farewell to our R2-D2™ ANA JET. R2-D2 has flown countless missions across the sky. Final flights: August 6, ANA flight NH 102 from Haneda to IAD, August 6 ANA flight NH 101 from IAD to Haneda. Details may change. More at ana.ms/3GYNsre

Currently: #AF1314 #CDG-#BHX is diverting to #EMA East Midlands Airport #LS1204 #AGP-#BHX is looking to divert to possibly Stansted #LS1352, #LS1330 and #FR2155 are holding and possibly diverting, updates to follow #Birmingham #aviation

This supports the fact it is a landing gear collapse. I'm working on finding more details. #BHX

Delays at Birmingham airport are mounting. #EK39, one of two daily Emirates flights to Birmingham, appears to be delayed by around 4 hours. Data from Flightradar24

BREAKING #BHX Birmingham Airport have issued a statement saying the runway is temporarily closed. No timeframe for reopening has been given #aviation

Birmingham (BHX) is to remain closed until at least 1700 UTC due to an earlier gear-up landing by a Super King Air. flightradar24.com/data/aircraft/…

Birmingham Airport Police have reported one person has been treated for minor injuries.

A video of the landing at Birmingham airport has emerged. Airport teams were on scenes immediately following the incident, where the main landing gear appears to have collapsed whilst on the runway. bbc.co.uk/news/live/c4g7… #BHX #aviation

#U22058 from Heraklion #HER to Manchester #MAN has declared emergency via Squawk 7700 over France. It is reportedly diverting to Paris #CDG fr24.com/EZY57NP/3b9a01…

The AAIB has inspectors en-route to Birmingham

Some aircraft, such as F-HBXI, which diverted away from Birmingham #BHX are returning to their base airports without passengers to allow them to operate other flights. This aircraft operated #AF1314 which diverted to #EMA East Midlands Airport.

This will cause significant delays as more aircraft will be diverting. For example, the second daily Emirates flight #EK37 will likely have to divert (ETA is 19:12), with the other Emirates flight still stuck at the gate #BHX #aviation
