There was a medical emergency.
The easyJet flight had to be diverted to Manchester An easyJet plane ended up having to change direction mid-air after a passenger suffered a medical emergency. The flight had taken off from Inverness in Scotland before 6.40am today and was on its way to London Gatwick when it was diverted to Manchester. The passenger had heart issues, a spokesperson for the airline told the Mirror and was ‘feeling unwell’, so it was decided that the plane should land in Manchester Airport as a ‘precaution’.
An easyJet spokesperson said: ‘We can confirm that flight EZY846 from Inverness to London Gatwick this morning was required to divert to Manchester due to a passenger onboard requiring urgent medical attention. ‘The passenger was met in Manchester by medical services and the flight will continue to Gatwick this morning. ‘The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is always easyJet’s highest priority.
