Another, Craig Shaw said: "I've been watching it for a while and it just keeps going over the airport without landing."

However, a spokesman for the airport allayed fears and said that the plane had been diverted to land at Doncaster because bad weather had closed Liverpool Airport, its intended destination, and was in holding formation over South Yorkshire.
