Holidaymakers planning trips for the Easter weekend faced chaos tonight as all flights from Stansted were cancelled, after a fire broke out on a car park shuttle bus at the airport near London.
Dramatic footage from the scene showed flames rising from buildings of the Essex airport and thick smoke shrouding the area after the bus caught fire on the forecourt of the terminal, with much of the front of the building suffering smoke damage.
Some passengers were evacuated with others reporting they were stuck outside the airport and pictures showing long queues inside the terminal.
A Stansted statement on Twitter said all flights until midnight had been cancelled, and said passengers were 'politely asked to leave the airport'.
