Passengers at Manchester Airport have been 'quarantined' on a Flybe plane for over an hour after a medical incident on board.
Shocked passengers reported feeling 'left in the dark' as flight BE3122 from Paris touched down at 10:30.
Emergency responders in hazmat suits were waiting on the runway when the flight landed.
A passenger told Mirror Online a woman who had visited Sierra Leone had fallen ill, but this is yet to be confirmed by officials.
They said: "We just got told a middle aged woman was visiting a small village in Sierra Leone.
"The whole village got ill so she left and then she started feeling ill on the plane home."

Another passenger told the Manchester Evening News: "The health authorities are holding back the passengers. Landed an hour ago.
"One passenger was taken care of by an incident response team. Several vehicles are parked by the plane.
"The captain informed us that during the flight the crew became aware/were made aware of one passenger's condition and said that the health authority is in charge of the situation now."
All passengers were made give their contact details to officials.
There are 107 passengers on the plane, Flybe has confirmed.
Pictures showed the flight surrounded by police and ambulance vehicles.
The passengers are now being taken off the flight and loaded on to bus.
It is not clear where they are being taken.
A Flybe spokesperson said: "Flybe confirms that, as a precautionary measure on arrival in Manchester and following a passenger on the above flight falling sick, it has worked closely with the Public Health England to collect the full contact details from all 107 passengers on board.
"This would allow them to be fully traceable if, in what would be a very rare instance, they might need to be uniquely alerted by the authority at some point in the future.
"Flybe sincerely apologises to the passengers for the delay to their travel plans upon arrival and for the inconvenience experienced however the health and welfare of its passengers and crew remain our number one priority at all times."
A source at Manchester Airport confirmed the medical incident.
