A plane carrying more than 120 passengers had to divert to an airport after the crew reported fumes on board.

The Titan Airways' Boeing 737 flying from Birmingham to Majorca landed safely at Stansted Airport in Essex. Seven crew members reported feeling light-headed and were taken to hospital in Harlow, Essex, after the landing on Tuesday morning. Four passengers were examined by a doctor but did not require treatment. A back-up plane left for Palma at noon. It took off about three-and-a-half hours after the Stansted landing. 'Unknown substance' Essex Ambulance Service incident commander Alan Whitehead said the Titan crew had spoken of concerns about the air supply and had decided to divert to Stansted. He added: "All seven crew were taken to Princess Alexandra Hospital in Harlow for monitoring as a precaution. "They had all complained of inhaling an unknown substance. "We immediately set up a triage centre to deal with the passengers. "While this was an unfortunate way to start their sunshine break, we would pay tribute to the way all the passengers and crew remained calm throughout the incident."
