A double-decker airline caught fire at Birmingham Airport on Tuesday, prompting a large-scale emergency response as passengers waited for help on board.
The Emirates A380 from Dubai to Birmingham was one of the first flights to come in after the Middle Eastern airline suspended its services to the Midlands city during the coronavirus pandemic. But a reported problem with brakes in the landing gear saw smoke emitting from the aircraft after it landed at 12.30pm, and prompted the crew to request help on the ground.
Passengers reported that the aircraft was "surrounded by fire engines", according to Birmingham Live. Emirates says that it will inspect the aircraft, and that all those on board were safe and well.
