A plane made an emergency landing at East Midlands Airport on Wednesday night after an electrical fault led to smoke in the cabin.

The Jet2 passenger plane came in from Ibiza. The problem happened on the runway, according to the aviation website AirLiveNet.com

The website added that all traffic was stopped at the airport and three flights were diverted. Passengers reportedly left the plane by the emergency exits.

A spokesman for Jet2 said: "Following a safe arrival at East Midlands Airport we decided to disembark passengers as quickly as possible as a precautionary safety measure because a minor electrical problem led to some smoke in the cabin. 

"All passengers were looked after by our airport team and a full investigation is now underway. The safety of our passengers is of paramount importance."
