A Glasgow-bound easyJet flight was forced to divert due to a mid-air emergency.

The airline's flight from Amsterdam to Glasgow on Tuesday, February 11, diverted to Manchester Airport after a customer onboard required 'urgent medical attention'.

easyJet said the passenger was met by medics at the English airport once the plane landed safely.

The flight then continued to Glasgow Airport, where it landed shortly before 10pm.
