Ryanair flight FR2522 from Glasgow to Alicante was forced to divert to Manchester airport on Sunday evening, April 3, after a medical emergency was declared shortly after take-off.

The plane departed the Scottish airport bound for Spain at 8.47pm but just thirty minutes later a passenger became ill and the flight had to be rerouted. Flightradar24, which monitors air traffic, showed the plane turning around over Shropshire in England before heading back to Manchester Airport.

A Ryanair spokesperson said: “This flight from Glasgow to Alicante (April 3) diverted to Manchester Airport after a passenger became ill on board. The crew called ahead to request medical assistance on arrival, the aircraft landed normally, the customer disembarked and was met by medics.
