THE runway at East Midlands Airport was closed this morning after a fuel leak.
Operations were suspended for 17 minutes while workers cleared the site at around 10.15am on September 11.
The fuel came from an inbound flight, so the plane with the leak did not take to the skies.
A spokeswoman for the airport said no planes were delayed or cancelled as a result of the spillage and operations are already back up and running.
