A Ryanair flight carrying dozens of Irish voters home for the abortion referendum has crashed with another plane on the runway at London Stansted Airport today.
The wing of Primera flight PF2871 to Malaga clipped the tail of Dublin-bound Ryanair aircraft FR205 as they were both on the taxiway this morning. Passengers were told by cabin crew that the aircraft had been hit by another plane, with three fire engines racing to the scene in Essex at about 9.15am.
The airport said both planes were required to return to the stand after the 'minor airfield incident', but no injuries were reported and no evacuation was required. A spokesman for Stansted added: 'As a precaution, airfield operations were briefly suspended, but all flights have now resumed.'
