An aircraft has now landed safely at Bristol Airport following a 'technical' fault which occurred whilst the aircraft was on route.
The Embraer 550 Clifton aircraft, which was bound for Tenerife, reported a problem shortly after take-off.
An eyewitness at the airport initially got in contact with Bristol Live.
Sam Taylor said: "I'm a private hire driver at airport. 6 fire trucks on blues just got to airport and the plane I'm waiting for is doing this......what's happening you know."
According to flight tracker site Flightradar24, the aircraft in question was seen circling the airport a number of times, looking like it was struggling to land.
