A RUNWAY was closed at Heathrow Airport this morning after a plane landed with suspected 'technical difficulties'.
The Northern runway was shut this morning (Friday), delaying other planes from landing.
Phil Groves, from BAA, told the Hillingdon Times: "We can confirm that one of the runways at Heathow Airport was closed as a precautionary measure to carry out safety checks on the runway following the safe landing of an aircraft with suspected technical difficulties."
The runway has now re-opened.
More follows later.
