A Thomas Cook flight from Turin to Birmingham had to make an emergency landing due to fuel leaking from it.
The fuel was spotted immediately after the Boeing 757 took off and the plane was forced to land. The airport was temporarily closed and the fire department were called to line the runway.
One of the passengers said that everyone who had been sitting on the back right of the plane could clearly see the fuel coming out, but said the pilot was a calming influence and that the eventual landing was smooth and controlled.
The fuel was cleared up inside an hour and the airport was then reopened. A Thomas Cook engineer came out from the UK and passengers were put up in hotels for the night. The leak was caused by a faulty valve, which was subsequently fixed by the engineer, allowing the passengers to travel today instead.
