Plane lands with engine trouble
A BMI plane has made an unscheduled landing at East Midlands Airport.
The flight, with 52 people on board, was flying from Leeds Bradford to Paris but was diverted when it suffered engine problems.
Emergency services were called out at 0810 BST on Tuesday.
The plane has landed safely and no one was taken to hospital.
The BMI Embraer aircraft, a twin engine turbo-fan, was carrying 48 passengers and 4 crew to Paris Charles de Gaulle.
One of the engines is said to have shown low oil pressure and the pilot decided to divert the plane as a precaution.
Engineers are now inspecting the aircraft and the airline is arranging another aircraft to take the passengers on to Paris.
