Belfast City Airport told passengers not to travel to the airport on Sunday evening due to the runway closure.
Instead it advised them to “contact their airline”.
The live flight information section of its website is showing that several planes due to arrive on Sunday evening have been cancelled.
Two flights – from London City and Leeds Bradford – due to land at the airport on Sunday afternoon were diverted to Belfast International Airport.
A further five flights were diverted from Dublin Airport.
The Dublin Airport Authority (DAA) is also assisting Belfast City Airport with the process of moving the damaged plane, according to the DAA’s Media Relations Manager Graeme McQueen.
He told BBC News NI that “members of Dublin Airport’s airfield operations team are currently travelling to Belfast with aircraft recovery equipment”.
“We are happy to help our neighbouring airport,” he added.
The Air Accident Investigation Branch (AAIB) confirmed that it has been notified of the emergency incident in Belfast.
Its spokesperson said: “An investigation has been launched and a team of inspectors is being deployed to the site.”
