A plane was forced to turn back to a UK airport just minutes after take-off after a fire erupted in the cabin. The incident happened aboard the TAP Air Portugal TP1329 on February 8, but the cause of the blaze has emerged in recent days following a report into the incident.
The flight had left from Gatwick Airport and was heading to Porto before the pilot was forced to transmit a Squawk 7700 - the International code for a general emergency - after seeing smoke coming from one of the overhead luggage compartments.
