Jet2 flight met by emergency vehicles after Manchester Airport diversion

A Jet2 flight had to divert to Manchester Airport, where it was met by emergency crews.

The flight from London Stansted to Antalya, Turkey took off as expected earlier today (March 9), but it had to be diverted to Manchester due to a "minor fault indication". Clips from an aviation live stream on YouTube showed multiple fire engines behind the aircraft after it landed at Manchester, reports the M.E.N.

A Jet2 spokesperson said the flight landed safely. The emergency crews appeared to taxi the plane down the runway after it landed.

"The aircraft landed safely, and customers will be transferred onto a standby aircraft so that we can get them on their way to Antalya as soon as possible. We apologise to everyone onboard for any inconvenience caused."
