An easyJet flight traveling from Manchester to Copenhagen was forced to divert urgently due to an incident on board. The flight departed around 7 pm and declared an emergency about 30 minutes later, leading to a diversion to Newcastle for a passenger requiring immediate medical attention. The Airbus A320, capable of accommodating up to 180 passengers, landed in Newcastle just after 8 pm, where the passenger received medical assistance.
After the passenger was attended to, the aircraft departed from Newcastle before 10.15 pm and arrived in Copenhagen at 12.30 am local time. An easyJet spokesperson confirmed the diversion, emphasizing the airline’s commitment to prioritizing the safety and well-being of passengers and crew.
