Dramatic footage has emerged showing fire crews dousing a blaze next to a passenger jet at Liverpool's airport.
Smoke was seen rising into the air near an easyJet plane after a piece of equipment burst into flames in front of the aircraft's right engine.
Witnesses who captured video and photos of the blaze thought the easyJet plane was on fire, but it turned out to be a ground power unit.
A Twitter user who posted the video from his seat on a Ryanair plane wrote: "So I'm off to Bulgaria and the plane next to us is on fire."
Passengers told how they were "rushed off" the easyJet plane after it had landed from Belfast.
