Legal Specialists Call For Urgent Investigations Into Recent Problems

Specialist aviation lawyers representing passengers injured during emergency landings and in-flight incidents have called for authorities to work quickly and thoroughly to investigate after a Jet2 flight into East Midlands Airport faced cabin smoke issues.

The airline has confirmed that flight LS644 from Ibiza was evacuated following its arrival at the airport on Wednesday night (September 3rd), following an electrical problem which led to the smoke being released into the cabin.

Reports have revealed that some passengers climbed on to the wing of the plane following the problems, with eyewitness accounts suggesting there was a strong burning smell and unrest among those onboard.

An East Midlands Airport spokesperson confirmed some flights were suspended for a short time following the incident.
