A spillage of hydraulic fluid on the runway caused delays at Birmingham airport yesterday after the spillage was detected just after 1 pm 8 planes were delayed, 4 of which were waiting to land and 4 that were waiting to take off.
The delay caused problems for around 1000 passengers who were trying to get away and enjoy some bank holiday sunshine. There was a knock on effect delay which saw the last plane delayed by around 2 hours.
The airport’s on site fire brigade cleared the fluid within 40 minutes, it is not clear how the fluid got to be there in the first place.
