An emergency has been declared at Belfast International Airport after the engine of a plane went on fire.
The Flybe flight was travelling from Glasgow to George Best Belfast City Airport but was diverted.
He said that some passengers noticed the fire half-way into the flight.
"It's a short 20 to 25 minute flight and there was a visible shutter throughout the plane and those on the left-hand side behind the engine clearly saw it burst into flames," he said.
"Some of them described it as a burning rocket, as the flames were shooting out the back and the plane lurched a little, not dramatically, but a little as it presumably stabilised on the second engine.
"There was a lot of apprehension. There was no hysteria. The staff were as reassuring as they could be but they were visibly shaken, as well, which doesn't exactly command confidence amongst the passengers."
