A holiday jet flying from Cardiff Airport to Cyprus has been forced to divert to Birmingham after an engine failure on take-off.

The Boeing 737 flight TOM 6754, operated by Tui, was climbing when the incident happened at about at 16:30 BST.

The pilots initially circled Swansea Bay at around 3,000 feet (900m) before climbing and heading towards the west Midlands.

The aircraft burned fuel in a series of orbits, before landing at Birmingham Airport, where the passengers and crew were safely disembarked.

The plane was met on the runway by four fire appliances and other emergency vehicles, causing some delays at Birmingham before it was able to taxi to a stand.

A spokesperson for Cardiff Airport said: “We are aware of an incident involving flight TOM6754 from Cardiff to Paphos.

“The safety of our passengers is our number one priority. The aircraft diverted to Birmingham Airport (BHX) and landed safely at approximately 17:30.”

Tui Airlines has been asked to comment.
