Ryanair flight makes emergency landing at Dublin Airport due to 'medical emergency'

A Ryanair flight from Dublin to Kaunas - a city in Lithuania - was forced to make an emergency landing at Dublin Airport due to a "medical emergency".

The plane turned back a half an hour into the flight after a passenger became unwell.

Medical personnel were waiting to take the passenger to hospital after the plane landed.

A Ryanair spokeswoman said: "This flight from Dublin to Kaunas (05 June) returned to Dublin Airport at 20.56 due to a medical emergency on board.

"The aircraft landed normally, and the passenger was met by medical personnel before being transported to hospital for further treatment."

Dublin Live contacted the Dublin Airport Authority.
