Incident at Manchester Airport this afternoon @manairport #manchester #airport
After taking the eldest granddaughter off Mums hands for the day we ventured to the local National Trust, Quarry Bank Mill, and then we stopped in at the Manchester Airport Viewing Park on the way home.
We were just about to leave at 17:20 when a First Choice Airbus A-321 (Registration G-OOPE) landed and began to taxi. Suddenly fire tenders arrived from both sides of the Airport surrounding the Aircraft, and landing aircraft could be seen to aborting their landings and flying-by as all movements at the airport stopped.
Nothing seemed untoward with the aircraft and after only a few minutes and a seemingly all clear by the fire service, most of the tenders left and movements started again.
The Airbus then began to move again followed by one tender to the terminal.
Havent been able to find the reason for the emergency anywhere - do you know what it was ?
