A passenger travelling back to the UK from Tenerife on a Jet2 flight died on board, forcing the plane to make an emergency landing in Newquay, it has been confirmed.
Jet2 issued an alert three hours into its LS756 flight from Tenerife to Manchester Airport on Sunday night (April 2) after a customer required medical assistance.
Witnesses told the Manchester Evening News there were emotional scenes on board as the passenger, understood to be a woman, fell ill. She received medical assistance from people on board and the aircraft began to descend over the Celtic Sea before landing at Cornwall Airport Newquay.
