A KLM uk Fokker 100 was evacuated this morning after the take off roll was abandoned after Smoke was reported at the rear of the cabin.

5 passengers were treated for slight injuries sustained during the evacuation, and the Runway remained closed for an hour or so.

The 89 Passengers are now awaiting the next avaliable flight to Amsterdam, the destination of the abandoned 06:20am flight.

The smoke is believed to have been caused by an electrical fault, although the aircraft has in the meanwhile been taken out of service.
