A damaged wheel on a Ryanair jet burst into flames after landing at Manchester Airport, air accident investigators have said.

The fire broke out when the Boeing 737-8AS was taxiing into Terminal Three with 167 passengers onboard. No-one was injured and the plane wasn't evacuated but the Air Accident Investigations Branch has described it as a 'serious incident'.

A report says that after landing, crew assumed the plane had a flat tyre, as it required a higher thrust than normal to maintain the usual taxi speed.

But as the aircraft approached the stand the crew heard a radio transmission requesting the fire service attend an aircraft with 'brakes on fire'. "Realising that the call was about [their plane] the crew immediately completed the parking procedure and shut down the engines," the report states.
