A number of flights were left circling above Benidorm and Albir on Sunday evening – due to a scare at Alicante-Elche airport.
A plane from Bristol made an emergency landing at the airport after the pilot detected a problem in the brakes and activated the emergency protocol.
Emergency fire brigade services were on the scene following the landing of the Ryanair flight.
