The aircraft skidded to a halt on the runway and its 67 passengers and five crew were evacuated using the plane's emergency chutes. Six ambulances were called to the scene but there have been no reports of any injuries.

A British Airways statement said: "Unfortunately one passenger sustained a minor injury and is currently on the way to hospital. There was one other minor injury.

"We don't know the nature of the injury or how it was caused yet. Our priority at the moment is to ensure all the passengers involved in the incident are well cared for by our ground staff."
