TUI passenger plane catches fire at Manchester Airport as fire crews rush to the scene

A TUI passenger plane caught fire at Manchester Airport.

Firefighters rushed to the scene just after the flight from Mahon in Spain landed at around 4.30m today with smoke coming from one of the engines. People waiting at Terminal 2 of the airport looked on as crews tackled the fire, repots the Mirror.

Pictures at the scene showed firefighters dousing the right engine with water after it suffered a "technical fault" and reportedly overheated. All passengers had disembarked and the safety of crew was not compromised, said TUI.
