A flight from Bristol made an emergency landing at Malaga Airport on Monday morning.
The pilots of an EasyJet Airbus A320-214 reported an "emergency ... due to smoke in the cockpit", as a result of which both had to put on oxygen masks, according to a post by the air traffic controllers account (@controladores) on social media platform X.
The control tower immediately directed the plane to runway 12 with absolute priority and alerted the airport's emergency service.
The aircraft landed and cleared the runway without incident. Following an inspection of the airfield, normal operations resumed.
