A flight bringing Brits back from Spain was forced to divert to France after a passenger suffered a medical emergency.
Jet2 flight LS134 departed Malaga at 11.55am on Thursday heading to Glasgow Airport, where it was scheduled to land at 2.25pm before crew declared the mid-air emergency, reports Glasgow Live.
A 'Squawk 7700' emergency was issued over the Bay of Biscay near the city of Lorient, with the plane descending quickly, before landing at Nantes Atlantique Airport just after 12.20pm.
Flight tracking site Flightradar24 showed the emergency call was issued around two hours into the flight.
The emergency prompted the plane to descend from a cruising altitude of 36,000 ft to just 4,000 ft in around 13 minutes.

Reports online confirm that the flight landed safely in Nantes Atlantique Airport "under emergency conditions".
According to Simple Flying, a ' Squawk 7700' will be entered by a pilot in an emergency situation - either instructed by ATC after declaring an emergency or without communication.
This will clearly inform all tracking ground controllers that the aircraft has an emergency and should be given appropriate assistance.
Jet2 has confirmed that the flight declared an emergency due to a passenger requiring medical attention.
An airline spokesperson said: “Due to a customer onboard requiring medical attention, our crew have diverted the aircraft to Nantes and have requested medical assistance upon landing.”
It comes after a TUI flight had to return to the airport less than an hour after taking off after the tail hit the runway during take-off.
The pilot was forced to dump fuel and return to Manchester Airport in "emergency mode".
Holidaymakers on the fully-booked TOM 2384 were hoping to get to Fuerteventura when it took off at 8.30am on March 9.
The tail "contacted the runway surface", which is called a "tail strike", meaning the crew had to stop the Boeing 737-800's ascent.
The plane then had to fly around the Lake District to burn off fuel before returning to Manchester airport for a safe landing.
