A Ryanair flight has made an emergency landing in Rome after suffering multiple bird strikes on its approach to Ciampino Airport.
Eight passengers and two crew on flight FR4102 have been brought to hospital with minor injuries. 166 passengers and six crew were on board.
The left-hand main landing gear suffered substantial damage on landing, which will delay the aircraft being removed from the runway for some hours.
One of the aircraft's engines was left resting on the tarmac after the incident.
As a result Rome Ciampino Airport has been closed to all flights until late this afternoon.
The aircraft is still being examined by Ryanair engineers and the Italian Aviation Authority.
Ryanair says it has not yet been allowed remove passengers' baggage, but as soon as it is allowed to do so, passengers will get their belongings so they can continue onwards to their destination.
