A SCOTTISH flight has been forced to declare a mid-air emergency on the way to a popular Spanish holiday destination.
The Jet2 aircraft was heading to Alicante this morning (October 22) from Edinburgh Airport but made an emergency U-turn.
Around 8.28am, the flight diverted to London Stansted airport – apparently due to a customer requiring “medical assistance”.
A Jet2 spokesperson said: “We can confirm that flight LS775 from Edinburgh to Alicante diverted to London Stansted this morning (Tuesday 22nd October), due to a customer requiring medical assistance. The aircraft subsequently continued its journey to Alicante.”
