Both runways at the Isle of Man's Airport have been closed after a light aircraft burst a tyre on landing, the facility's bosses have said.

The closure has led delays to the arrivals of the Aer Lingus flight from Dublin at 12:40 BST and the EasyJet flight from Bristol, which was due at 12:50.

Those delays have had a knock-on effect on the outward bound flights on the same routes.

In a statement, airport authorities said the team was "working to resolve this issue as quickly as possible".
