Jet2 said in a statement: "We would like to emphasise that at no point was the safety of anyone onboard compromised."

In a tweet, passenger Stevie Spence said the pilot was "brilliant".

"We were stuck on a plane for about 30-40 minutes after we landed in France. He came into cabin and talked to everyone like he'd just bagged my shopping. What a guy!"
