A passenger who was travelling on a Jet2 flight to Manchester that was forced to make an emergency landing in Newquay has died.
The flight, which was headed from Tenerife to Manchester Airport, issued an alert approximately three hours into the journey that was taking place on the night of Sunday, April 2 after a customer needed medical assistance.
Those who were on board the plane explained the “emotional” scenes as the passenger, who is understood to be a woman, fell ill and needed assistance from medical professionals as the aircraft began to descend over the Celtic Sea before landing at Cornwall Airport Newquay.
