A Boeing aircraft holding close to 200 people onboard was evacuated recently in Italy.

The incident arose when flames started to shoot out from one of the engines, causing intense panic and chaos across the board.

Firefighters were seen rushing to the scene of Brindisi Airport where fumes were spotted outside the Ryanair jet before it took off.

Shocking images feature flames that were then seen around its left engine.

All of the 184 passengers aboard the Boeing 737 were evacuated from the smoking aircraft in a safe and timely manner, the airline has confirmed with no injuries or casualties reported.

 

The flight was going from Brindisi to Turin and it was delayed during the morning hours after cabin crew saw fumes on the plane’s exterior.

Out of the blue, passengers were disembarked without incident and returned through a bus to the airport terminal.

The airport was reportedly closed for a short period before more aircraft were given the green signal to take off or land accordingly.

The airlines then made immediate plans to use one of their spare planes to transport the passengers back to their final destination.

An investigation into the incident is currently taking place to determine what went wrong and what led to the fire in the first place.
