Jet2 flight forced to return to Manchester 'due to unforeseen operational reasons'

A Jet2 holiday flight to Gran Canaria was forced to turn around and return to Manchester this evening.

The Boeing 757-200 took off from Manchester Airport at 6.41pm but a few minutes into the flight the captain decided to abort the trip and instead flew west over Wales where it maintained a holding pattern before returning to Manchester.

Flight LS781 landed back at Manchester Airport at just before 9pm.
