An easyJet flight from Alicante to Manchester was forced to divert to Gatiwck after a mid-air emergency.
Flight U25521 declared an emergency on board while flying over the south British coast this morning.
The plane then changed flight plan and landed at Gatwick airport at around 8.30am on Sunday.
It is not known what the emergency was or whether the plane was met by emergency services after touch down.
This diversion comes weeks after another easyJet flight from Tenerife to Liverpool landed early at a northern Spanish airport due to a medical emergency on March 25.
There attempts were made to ‘revive a 67-year-old passenger who was unconscious’.
Passengers then stayed at the Santiago-Rosalia de Castro Airport, in Galicia, over night before heading home the next day.
A couple weeks earlier an easyJet pilot made an emergency diversion after families came to blows 30,000ft in the air over a boy watching The Karate Kid too loudly.
