THIS is the terrifying moment a busy plane is seen up in flames after landing – sending passengers fleeing for their lives down emergency slides.
There was panic and chaos on board as the cabin filled with black smoke as those on board began to reportedly “suffocate”.

The stricken aircraft landed at Antalya airport in Turkey before flames started to swirl from ignited kerosene that had leaked onto the runway.
All 95 passengers and crew were left frantically rushing to the exit points as emergency evacuation slides were ordered amid fears the Sukhoi Superjet 100 aircraft would explode.
One report said the wing clipped the runway as the Russian Azimuth Airlines aircraft battled against high winds overnight.
A heroic passenger is said to have broken down a door after crew struggled to wrench it open as smoke started to fill the plane.
Miraculously all 95 people on board escaped unharmed.
One of the survivors, a TikTok influencer named Evgeniya Lavrinenko said: “There was panic in the cabin, people started jumping up, trying to get their bags, putting them in the aisle.
“And then a sharp flash in all the windows showed that the fire had burst into flames.”
“There was smoke coming from behind and then someone shouted that there were evacuation slides at the back of the plane – run back.
“We ran back, and there was even more smoke, we started to suffocate.
“I shouted to my child to cover her face with a cloth so she could breathe and we came down on this slide.
“My daughter was first, I followed her, screaming all around us. It was very scary.”
“My daughter was crying, everyone was crying, but luckily everyone survived.”
Two loud impact sounds were heard as the plane with 87 passengers and six crew on board.
The airline said the plane had suffered a “rough landing” due to the windy conditions.
Those on board rushed away from the burning wreckage as they feared it could explode at any moment.
They then had to wait for hours to collect their luggage with some passengers saying they had lost their belongings, including passports, in the escape.
