(10 minutes later) | |
A passenger plane carrying about 100 people has made an emergency landing at Leeds Bradford International Airport. | |
A full emergency was declared when the pilot of an Austrian Airlines flight radioed ahead to report a problem with one of the engines. | |
The crew of the Fokker 100, travelling from Innsbruck to Leeds, had noticed the engine was malfunctioning. | |
"The aircraft has landed safely," said an airport spokeswoman. "Everybody has been taken off and nobody was hurt." | |
The spokeswoman said: "The right engine is what they called idle, it wasn't working correctly. | |
"It landed and all the passengers have disembarked." | |
The airport was operating normally and no other flights had been affected, she added. | |
Up to 12 fire engines were seen at the airport ready for the emergency landing. | |
However, eye witnesses said the plane appeared to land without any problems. |
