There was a major turnout of emergency services at Ronaldsway Airport this evening (Friday), after a flight from Birmingham radioed ahead to say one of its engines had failed.
It was what's known as 'a positioning flight', so there were no passengers onboard, but because of the nature of the incident fire, police and ambulance crews were scrambled, and roads around the airport were closed.
The pilots landed the aircraft safely at around 7.25pm, and the roads reopened shortly afterwards.
