Watch terrifying moment Aer Lingus plane lands sideways at Dublin Airport in 90kmh Storm Kathleen gusts
HUNDREDS of passengers were left stranded after a giant one metre long "pothole" appeared on the runway at a busy airport.
Three flights were either cancelled or rescheduled and five were diverted amid the chaos at Newcastle Airport on Wednesday night.Passenger Nick Allen, 27, was on board an 8.40pm BA flight to London waiting to take-off when the plane turned back to the terminal due to what he described as a "pothole".Nick said: "Everything was fine to begin with. We got on the plane and it taxied out to the runway.
The Newcastle-based environmental researcher, who was heading to the capital for a job interview, added: "The pilot said it was the most British thing he'd ever heard." Today an airport spokesman said: "Our runway was closed for a short period last night while a defect was inspected."Unfortunately as a result, five inbound flights opted to divert during the short closure and three outbound flights were cancelled or rescheduled.A second spokesperson later added: "The defect was what is known as 'raveling' - where the loss of the surface exposes the surface layer beneath.
