All passengers arrived uninjured and Jet2 said the fight was diverted due to a "technical fault".

Photos were taken inside the cabin and showed passengers wearing oxygen masks.

Jet2 told The Independent that the fault is being investigated.

In a statement, the airline said: "Flight LS509 from Newcastle to Prague diverted to Frankfurt due to a technical fault indication. Our flight crew followed procedure and made a controlled descent before landing safely.

"We would like to apologise to all those customers affected but their safety is always our number one priority."

A replacement plane was sent to Frankfurt to take the passengers to Prague.
