A FlyBe flight from the Isle of Man to Manchester had to turn back after passengers were told of a fuel leak.

This morning's BE810 was over the Irish Sea at around 7.20am when the crew made the decision to turn back.

A passenger on board told Energy FM Reports that fire crews at Ronaldsway accompanied the aircraft when it landed.

The A.T.R. 72 operated by Stobart Air, landed safely and passengers are being transferred to the next flight to Manchester.
