Thousands of people have been affected as flights were suspended at Birmingham Airport after a plane carrying a transplant liver crashed.



The airport reopened shortly after 1200 GMT today after the plane, from Belfast, hit the airport's landing system antennae in fog yesterday.



Two men were injured, one critically. The donor organ was successfully taken to its destination hospital in time.



Airport officials said a total of some 80 flights had been affected.
