Guernsey Airport was closed for about two hours on Tuesday evening after an aircraft "left the runway", the site confirmed.

There were no reported injuries among the 63 passengers and four crew on board.

A full emergency was declared but crews were stood down en route to the site.

No damage was reported to the aircraft, which was towed to the apron shortly after 20:30 BST.

All passengers safely disembarked from the aircraft and transferred to the airport terminal by bus, with the airport able to reopen at 20:55 BST.
