A Jet2 flight was met by fire crews after being diverted to Manchester Airport this morning - less than a week after another plane had to divert for the same reason.
The flight from Edinburgh to Gran Canaria was diverted due to a 'minor fault indication', a spokesperson for the airline said. The aircraft landed safely and was met by emergency services 'as a precautionary measure'.
A Jet2 spokesperson said: "Flight LS715 from Edinburgh to Gran Canaria followed procedure and diverted to Manchester Airport this morning, due to a minor fault indication. The aircraft landed safely and was met by emergency services as a precautionary measure.

"Customers will be transferred onto a standby aircraft so that we can get everyone on their way to Gran Canaria as soon as possible. We apologise to everyone onboard for any inconvenience caused."
Just last Thursday (March 9), another Jet2 flight was diverted to Manchester Airport for the same reason. The plane headed for Antalya in Turkey took off from London Stansted as normal, but had to be diverted due to the 'minor fault indication'.
This plane was also met by emergency crews on the runway. The aircraft landed safely.
