Runway closed after aircraft makes 'emergency landing'

The airport said the runway would reopen "as soon as possible"

An airport runway was forced to close after an incident involving a light aircraft.

Gloucestershire Constabulary said they were called to Gloucestershire airport in Staverton around 13:10 GMT after reports an aircraft made an 'emergency landing.'

The airport said one person had been taken to hospital with non life-threatening injuries and that the runway had reopened.

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch and Civil Aviation Authority have both been notified.

Emergency services could be seen in attendance near bushes and trees close to the boundary of the airfield.
