A passenger on a Jet2 plane which made an emergency landing at East Midlands Airport has told of the terror on board as it descended towards the runway.
Suzanne Wood, of Hucknall, was among holiday-makers coming back on a flight from Ibiza on Wednesday night when smoke was spotted in the cabin.
Pilots managed to land the plane and there have been no reports of injuries.
Miss Wood said she was still shaking on Thursday morning.
She told the Post: "It was awful. Half an hour into the descent we could tell there was something not right. The pilots were coming out and the cabin crew kept going into the cockpit.
"No one knew what was happening. The plane was coming in to land but then seemed to go back up again. People were starting to panic."
Jet2 has said that the smoke was caused by an electrical fault and that an investigation is underway.
The Air Accidents Investigation Branch has also sent a team to the airport.Six fire engines were sent by Leicestershire Fire and Rescue after a call was made at 8.25pm.
A spokesman for the service said: "There was no sign of fire on the aircraft."
The firefighters remained at the scene until just before 10pm.
