The plane was about to leave the airport when the crew sounded the alarm about a fire onboard to the emergency services shortly after midnight. It is still unclear what caused the fire and what the plane's destination was. Several ambulances were rushed to the scene, with six passengers taken to hospital. Their injuries are not believed to be serious. A confused airport worker was overheard telling a colleague in a walkie-talkie message: 'Do you know the plane has emergency exits?' as frightened travellers were filmed jumping to the tarmac. He added: 'Plane about to leave from apron ten or eight and now the people are jumping from the wing onto the ground.' 'Something's happening, something's happening, they're evacuating the plane. Now the firefighters are coming.' The emergency was quickly brought under control and most passengers left the plane in an orderly fashion, local media report. A spokesman for a regional government-run emergency response coordination centre confirmed on Saturday morning: 'We received an alert about a fire on a plane on the ground at Palma airport at 00.36am today. 'Four ambulances were sent to the scene which were two basic life support units and two advanced life support units. 'Eighteen people were injured and received medical assistance of whom six were taken to hospital,' the spokesperson added, describing the injuries as 'minor.'
