Birmingham Airport back open after evacuation

Travellers posted their frustration on social media at being left on planes that had just arrived at the airport.

One user on X, @harmancheeta, said they were "stuck on a plane, claustrophobic, pleading to get off," and asked: "How long is this situation going to take?".

Another, @SpandleRandle, said his mum and dad were also on a plane at Birmingham Airport after returning from Spain and had "no idea what’s going on".
