The Irish Aviation Authority has confirmed that there were 10 passengers and two crew on the Manx2 commuter flight that crashed at Cork Airport this morning.

Up to 20 roof tiles were dislodged by a low-flying aircraft near George Best Belfast City Airport, a resident said today.

An extra 3,000 flights a year could use Belfast City Airport, it was revealed today.

CITYJET, the Dublin-based airline owned by Air France-KLM, saw its profits rise by 8% last year.
