Glasgow EasyJet flight forced to divert amid mid-air emergency

A GLASGOW-bound EasyJet flight was forced to divert due to a mid-air emergency.

The airline's flight from Amsterdam to Glasgow on Tuesday, February 11, diverted to Manchester Airport after a customer onboard required 'urgent medical attention'.

EasyJet said the passenger was met by medics at the English airport once the plane landed safely.

The flight then continued to Glasgow Airport, where it landed shortly before 10pm.

A spokesperson for EasyJet said: “Flight EZY3174 from Amsterdam to Glasgow yesterday evening was required to divert to Manchester, due to a customer onboard requiring urgent medical attention.

“The customer was met by medical services and the flight continued to Glasgow.

"The safety and well-being of our customers and crew is always easyJet’s highest priority.”
