A PLANE which crash-landed at an airport in the UK after being buffeted by aggressive 50mph winds is being investigated further.

There were no injuries to the four crew members on the flight, according to reports.
Almost a month later, the plane is still parked at the flight hub in Northern Ireland – with no information on when it is expected to re-enter service, Belfast Live reports.
A spokesperson for the Air Accidents Investigation Branch (AAIB) said: “The aircraft has not been moved because it is due to undergo further examination work as part of the ongoing investigation.”
Investigations of this nature can take up to nine months to a year to complete, with AAIB saying it is too soon to provide an update.
Following the scare, all flights in and out of Belfast City Airport were cancelled or diverted for the rest of the day, sparking travel chaos just days before Christmas.
