Passengers fainted and were sick with terror when a Jet2 plane's wing flaps malfunctioned, forcing a hero pilot to land the aircraft at full speed.
The aircraft landed at 3.30am at Manchester Airport even though it was due to land in Leeds Bradford, 58 miles from its original destination, two hours earlier.
After circling Leeds for an hour, the pilot told passengers the wing flaps, which are used to decrease the plane's speed, were malfunctioning and they needed to make an emergency landing.
The aircraft landed 'fast and hard' at full speed, using the entire length of the runway to slow down, with six fire engines spraying down the plane's wheels.
This latest incident with a Jet2 plane comes days after another jet travelling from Faro in Portugal to Leeds Bradford was forced to make an emergency landing in Bordeaux when cabin pressures dropped on August 10.
On Thursday, another Jet2 plane was met with fire engines and ambulance crews on arrival after cabin pressures dropped again on another flight from Newcastle to Dalaman meaning that too had to make an emergency landing.
