A flight from Manchester to Portugal had to turn back around after a passenger 'became ill'.
The Ryanair flight left Manchester Airport at 6.23pm on Friday (February 10) and was due to arrive at Lisbon's General Humberto Delgado airport at 8.25pm. However, once reaching the south coast of England, the Boeing 737-800 plane was diverted back to Manchester - landing at 7.29pm.
