A British Airways flight to Spain has made an emergency landing after ‘smoke engulfed the cabin.’

Footage posted online shows passengers using the evacuation slide on the runway in Valencia, and a clip from the cabin shows the air thick with smoke.

Lucy Brown posted pictures of the smoking cabin on Twitter and said the events -which unfolded at around 7pm today – ‘felt like a horror film.’

She said: @British_Airways terrifying experience on flight to Valencia. Felt like horror film. Thankfully everyone safe. Flight filled with smoke and had to be emergency evacuated. #britishairways. 

Three people have been taken to hospital for checks, and a further 10 people are understood to have suffered minor friction burns after jumping down the emergency chutes during the scare. 

Irate travellers have lambasted the airline on social media after the evacuation, saying there was no first aid or water provided, people were crying at the terminal, and there has been a lack of information from the airline about the incident.
