A plane en route to Wales has been forced to make an emergency landing in Paris.

According to passengers on the plane there were 67 people on board the low-cost airline's flight when it landed at Paris Orly International Airport.

"All good. Hydraulic issue was the cause all offloaded at Paris Orly! All offloaded and heading to terminal. flybe crew have been fantastic throughout," he said.
