Police issue update on woman who died after falling ill on Jet2 flight to Manchester forced to make emergency landing

A woman who tragically died after falling ill on a Jet2 flight was aged in her 60s and from Cheshire, it has now been confirmed.

The LS756 flight from Tenerife to Manchester Airport issued an emergency alert and diverted to Cornwall Airport Newquay after the passenger on board required urgent medical assistance on Sunday evening (April 2).

One passenger told the Manchester Evening News how the plane took a 'dramatic veer to the right' around three hours into the flight as the woman was being given CPR by medical professionals and that 'it was clear something had changed and we needed to land straight away.'
