An EasyJet plane bound for Edinburgh had to make an emergency landing after the pilot became ill during the flight, the airline has confirmed.
Flight EZY6938 had departed Heraklion in Greece late on June 11 and was bound for the Scottish capital in the early hours of June 12 when disaster struck.
As the plane approached the airport for landing, a Live Squawk 700 alert was issued - which meant all air traffic control facilities in the area were immediately alerted that the aircraft had an emergency situation.
