Emergency services descended on Manchester Airport following reports that a fire had broken out on a TUI aircraft. Fire crews rushed to Terminal Two shortly after the flight landed from Menorca at around 3.45pm on Saturday (July 30).
Passengers reported seeing an 'enormous' amount of smoke coming from the right side of the plane. Witnesses told the Manchester Evening News the fire was extinguished by cabin staff shortly before emergency services arrived.
A TUI spokesperson confirmed the aircraft was met by the fire service following a 'technical fault' on arrival into the airport and that all passengers had been able to disembark.
