A Jet2 flight en route from Manchester Airport to Reus, Spain, diverted to London Gatwick last night after a reported mid-air emergency.
Diversion Details
The Boeing 737 took off from Manchester and tracked south over Cheshire, Birmingham, and Reading before approaching the coastline near Brighton. As it crossed the English Channel, the aircraft abruptly changed direction, banking north over the High Weald area and heading straight to Gatwick, where it landed around 4 p.m.
Current Status
Officials have not yet confirmed the precise cause of the diversion, though flight data and initial reports point to an in-flight emergency. Jet2 has been approached for an official statement, with no additional details released at this time.
