Engineer on easyJet plane filmed using TAPE to fix engine on delayed flight in runway footage

Footage has emerged of an aircraft engineer appearing to repair a easyJet plane's engine using tape.

The technician, wearing an orange hi-viz jacket, was filmed sticking down tape on an engine of a plane bound for Berlin at Amsterdam's Airport Schipol.

The filmer claimed the pilot told passengers a short delay was needed for a "minimal technical fix" before the worker was called to the runway.

The witness said the engineer removed "sticked-on duct tape" from the engine after it had reportedly come loose and rolled backwards on a previous flight.
