Eighteen people have been injured after a ‘fire’ was said to have broken out on a Ryanair plane at Majorca airport.
Warnings of the blaze came just after midnight, with passengers filmed abandoning the plane via one of its wings before jumping to the tarmac as firefighters and police rushed to the scene.
Regional medical emergency response co-ordinators said 18 people were treated for minor injuries, with six taken to hospital.
Three were taken to a private clinic in Palma called Clínica Rotger and the other three to Hospital Quironsalud Palmplanas.
It was not immediately clear what type of injuries they had suffered, but they are thought to have been hurt while exiting the aircraft.
The plane was reportedly about to leave Palma Airport and had been scheduled to arrive in Manchester.
Emergency services were called to the scene at 12:35am.
Four ambulances were mobilised and sent to the plane along with airport-based firefighters and the Civil Guard.
