It caused flight delays and planes to circle the runway. BVI Airports Authority Officials could not be reached for comments as to how long this situation will continue.
Again?
However, an Airport correspondent told our news Centre that moments ago before publication around 1:45 PM, the situation was brought under control and the airport was reopened.
