Footage uploaded to social media shows terrified passengers leaping from the plane’s wing down onto the tarmac, before sprinting away.

In the clip, an airport worker can be heard saying: “Do you know the plane has emergency exits?

“Now the people are jumping from the wing onto the ground.

“Something’s happening, something’s happening, they’re evacuating the plane. Now the firefighters are coming.”

The video shows other passengers using an emergency exit slide on the other side of the plane, which is the usual procedure.

It was confirmed this morning the plane was about to leave the airport for Manchester.

Airline staff onboard the plane are said to have alerted the emergency services with a call at 12.35am this morning.

Four ambulances were sent to the scene along with airport-based firefighters and police.

This morning, a spokesperson for Majorca’s emergency services stated: “At 00:36 am today, we were alerted to a fire on a plane located on the ground at Palma airport.

“Four ambulances were sent to the scene which were two basic life support units and two advanced life support unit.

“Eighteen people were injured and received medical assistance of whom six were taken to hospital.

“They were all minor. Three went to the Clinica Rotger and three to the Palmaplanas Hospital.”

A spokesperson for Ryanair said: “This flight from Palma to Manchester (4 July) discontinued take-off due to a false fire warning light indication.

“Passengers were disembarked using the inflatable slides and returned to the terminal.

“During the disembarkation process, a few passengers sustained very minor injuries, such as ankle sprains, prompting crew members to call for urgent medical help.

“To minimise disruption to passengers, we quickly arranged a replacement aircraft to operate this flight, which departed Palma at 07:05 this morning.

“We sincerely apologise to affected passengers for any inconvenience caused.”
