A legal holiday licence jet drifting British skiers home from Italy was forced to have an puncture alighting yesterdayafter gallons of fuel proposed spewing from the right wing.

Passengers panicked as they watched a thick, white route of fuel fill the blue sky rught away after their Thomas Cook Boeing 757 took off from Turin"s Caselle airport. Noticing the leak, the commander alerted airfield controllers who sealed the airfield and lined up glow engines along the runway as the craft circled prior to creation an puncture landing.

"It was viewable we were losing fuel, quite to those who were sat at the behind on the right, and we are wondering if we would have sufficient to land," pronounced one of the 231 passengers on board.

"We were disturbed at first, but afterwards the commander calmed us down and all went uniformly and but a singular bump."

Air trade controllers sealed the airfield for over an hour to purify spilt fuel off the runways after the craft landed at 2.45pm, whilst Thomas Cook finished with an operative from the UK and organised for passengers to outlay the night at internal hotels, a orator for the organisation said.

"I can endorse that moody TCX127L to Birmingham experienced a fuel trickle after taking flight from Turin airport," pronounced the spokesman, who combined that the trickle was caused by a inadequate valve. The operative bound the problem, permitting passengers to fly home on the same aircraft today, he said.
