A PRIVATE business jet travelling from Geneva to Jersey was forced to divert to Guernsey after suffering an engine fault and declaring an emergency on Tuesday.

The aircraft landed safely at Guernsey Airport at 10.39am before being inspected by the Airport Fire Service. 

The Air Accidents Investigation Branch later gave permission for the aircraft to be moved from the runway, with normal airport operations resuming at 11.28am.
