Flight forced to land at Gatwick after "fume" complaints


A flight was forced to land at Gatwick after reports of “fumes” coming from the plane.

The Ryanair flight from Barcelona to Stansted originally landed in France after passengers complained of an “unusual odour”, described as like burning plastic.

After it took off, other passengers began to complain, and the flight landed at Gatwick shortly after 5pm today.

A spokeswoman for Gatwick confirmed the plane had landed “safely” and all the passengers had disembarked.

A Ryanair spokeswoman said the company’s engineers will “inspect the aircraft”, adding that the plane had been temporarily removed from service.
