An easyJet flight landed to fire crews on the runway after it needed to return to Manchester Airport.
The EZY2033 flight, from Manchester to Alicante, left on Tuesday afternoon but circled back shortly after, as passengers reported hearing a "weird noise" when up in the air. The noise heard was described as "grinding" by a person onboard.
The flight path shows how the flight initially took off at 12.30pm, before circling six times over the Peak District, flying over Cheshire and eventually returning back to Manchester an hour later. A spokesperson for easyJet said the flight needed to land as a "technical issue" with the aircraft "could not be resolved."
