A Wizz Air flight from Poland to London Luton Airport was forced to make an emergency landing after the cockpit filled with smoke.

Crew members issued a Mayday call for

help as the flight diverted to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport in the Netherlands.

A fleet of ambulances, fire trucks and a medical helicopter descended onto the runway.

More than 200 passengers were evacuated from the c A321 as airport staff investigated the source of the smoke.

There were no reports of casualties and the landing reportedly ran smoothly. The pilots were checked over by medics but did not require medical attention.

However, it was not immediately clear what caused the outpouring of smoke.

An emergency incident was declared on Sunday at around 11.30am after the jet departed from Poznań–Ławica Henryk Wieniawski Airport.
