However passengers left the aircraft by the steps and no one was hurt.

But the airport says some departing flights may still be delayed.

Passengers are advised to contact their airline.

It is understood that the Boeing 737-300 aircraft had 135 passengers onboard.

It left the runway while taxiing to the terminal building.

In a statement Monarch said it understands that no passengers or crew sustained any injuries.

It adds that as a standard precaution emergency services have attended the aircraft.

They have also suspended the use of Aurela Airlines.
