An easyJet arrival in Belfast was delayed following an aborted landing caused by a “suspected technical issue”.
The flight departing at 6.45am from Gatwick in London had been due to arrive at Belfast City Airport at 8.10am.
However, the flight eventually landed at 8.36am following the incident with the plane just before the initial touchdown.
It is understood the plane was about to land on the runway before suddenly pulling up and gaining altitude.
In a statement, an easyJet spokesperson confirmed all passengers and crew “disembarked as normal” when the flight landed.
The spokesperson said: “The captain of flight EZY803 on arrival from London Gatwick to Belfast City performed a routine go around in line with procedures due to a suspected technical issue, before landing safely into Belfast City.
