An easyJet flight has been forced to make an emergency landing at Glasgow Airport amid an issue.
The airline's flight EZY2259, to Reykjavik in Iceland, was diverted to the city's airport shortly after taking off from Manchester at around 6.25am this morning.
According to the firm's flight status checker online, the aircraft landed in Glasgow at around 8.15am due to a "passenger welfare issue".
Following the diversion, the flight continued its original journey after the issue.
The airline's flight status checker said: "We're very sorry that your flight has now been diverted.
"This is due to a passenger welfare issue.
"The disruption to your flight is outside of our control and is considered to be an extraordinary circumstance."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
