An investigation is underway into what caused a passenger aircraft to make an emergency landing in Belfast last night.

The Flybe plane, with 55 passengers and crew on board, had just left Belfast City Airport when the pilot identified a possible technical problem.

The jet was en route to Liverpool.

Minutes into the flight, the plane was forced to divert to Belfast International Airport, where it landed safely.

The airline is understood to have made alternative travel arrangements for those affected.
