<p>All flights were grounded for around three hours on Friday after the Vienna-bound Laudamotion aircraft suffered suspected engine problems on the runway.</p>
<p>Passenger Thomas Steer said after around 15 seconds of acceleration there was a “big bang on the side of the aircraft which skidded to a stop” shortly after 8pm.</p>
<p>The estate agent, 24, from Essex, said: “It was scary. And then staff shouting ‘evacuate evacuate’.</p>

<p>“My friend opened the emergency exit and we slid down the slides, a few old people fell over and the fire brigade treated them.</p>
<p>“No-one was seriously injured, just minor things.”</p>
<p>An airport spokesman said it had received reports that eight people suffered minor injuries in the incident.</p>
<p>The Air Accidents Investigation Branch said it was sending a team to investigate</p>
<p>Shortly before 11pm, Stansted tweeted “Our runway has now re-opened and is fully operational.</p>
<p>“We are extremely sorry for the disruption caused by the incident but our first priority is always the safety of the passengers and staff.”</p>

<p>Airline Laudamotion tweeted: “The crew of OE flight from Stansted to Vienna (1.3.) decided to abort the take-off due to engine issues and to disembark the passengers on the runway as a precautionary measure.</p>
<p>“Passengers were transferred to the terminal by bus and will be re-accommodated onto a replacement flight.”</p>
