An investigation is under way into the cause of a fault on an aircraft which was forced to make an emergency landing at Leeds Bradford Airport on Tuesday evening.
The BMI British Midlands flight to Paris had just taken off from the West Yorkshire airport around 1800 GMT when the problem was noticed.
A warning light in the cockpit indicated a possible fuel problem and the crew decided to turn back.
A full scale emergency was launched at the airport with fire crews on stand-by.
The aircraft landed safely 15 minutes after take off and no one on board was injured.
Passengers were given the option of transferring to other flights on Tuesday evening or waiting until Wednesday to continue their journeys.
