Doncaster's Robin Hood Airport is closed after an aircraft had a problem with its undercarriage while landing.
The LinksAir plane, which had two crew members and one passenger on board, was flying to the airport in South Yorkshire from Belfast City Airport.
The passenger was taken to hospital for checks after the incident on Friday at 19:30 BST, the airport said.
It added that the Jetstream 31 aircraft remained near the runway and could not be moved until investigators arrived.
A spokesperson said they were due at the airport at 08:00 BST.
In a statement, they said: "We apologise for the inconvenience caused and will work to reopen our runway as soon as possible."
The airport said passengers due to fly on Saturday morning were being checked in as normal but the flights would probably have to leave from other airports.
Passengers were urged to speak to their airlines and the airport said it hoped to have another update at 12:00 BST.
Bobby Fett, 39, from Newcastle upon Tyne, was at the airport on board a plane due to depart for Romania at the time of the Belfast flight's arrival.
He and fellow passengers were told by the pilot there was a "problem on the runway".
"The crash happened as I was sat on the plane about to depart," he said.
"I was sat at the rear on my aircraft and was informed by the pilot that there was a problem on the runway.
"When I looked out I saw what looked to be a small aircraft with its right wing down on the floor. It was obvious it had an undercarriage problem by the way it was sat."
Four inbound scheduled flights and three outbound services were affected on Friday evening, the airport said.
A further three outbound flights are expected to be diverted on Saturday morning.
