Passengers evacuated as plane fills with smoke

TWO inspectors from the Air Accident Investigation Unit are investigating an incident where passengers were evacuated via chutes from a Ryanair plane following landing at Kerry Airport yesterday.

One hundred and sixty passengers had to be evacuated from flight FR701 after it arrived from London Stansted just after 9am.

The plane had landed safety and was taxiing to the main stand when the captain smelt fumes in the cockpit.
