An easyJet plane ended up having to change direction after a passenger suffered a medical emergency.
The flight had taken off from Inverness before 6.40 in Scotland to London Gatwick, was diverted to Manchester.
The passenger had heart issues, a spokesperson from the airline told the Mirror and was ‘feeling unwell’, so it was decided that the plane should land in Manchester as a ‘precaution’.
It had taken off at just before 6.40am.
An easyJet spokesperson said: ‘We can confirm that flight EZY846 from Inverness to London Gatwick this morning was required to divert to Manchester due to a passenger onboard requiring urgent medical attention.
‘The passenger was met in Manchester by medical services and the flight will continue to Gatwick this morning. The safety and wellbeing of our customers and crew is always easyJet’s highest priority.’
