A flight bringing holidaymakers back to Manchester from Cuba was forced to divert this morning (Friday) after a medical emergency on board.
TUI flight TOM135 had left Varadero airport on the Carribean island just after 9pm last night (Central Standard Time) and was several hours into its journey when a passenger fell ill.
As a result, the flight was diverted to Halifax Stanfield airport in Nova Scotia on Canada's east coast where it landed just after 3am (Atlantic Standard Time) this morning.
