A plane heading to Spain from Liverpool John Lennon Airport had an emergency declaration over the north-west of England. The flight to Palma de Mallorca Airport issued a 7700 general emergency alert this morning at 12,875 feet along its flight path. Flight tracking data showed the aircraft changing direction near Shrewsbury before returning to Liverpool.
The flight appears to have landed unexpectedly at Manchester Airport based on tracking information. A passenger confirmed the safe landing, mentioning a sudden vibration and noise after takeoff but noting that the situation did not cause alarm among passengers. The captain informed passengers of an issue about 15 minutes into the flight, with the crew handling the situation professionally. The plane landed safely in Manchester, and passengers are expected to board another flight around 11:25 am to continue their journey.
The Mirror has reached out to Jet2 and Manchester Airport for comments on the incident.
