The plane turned around over the English Channel
A Jet2 flight to Ibiza was forced to suddenly turn around and return to Manchester Airport. The LS191 flight, that departed from Manchester Airport 30 minutes later than scheduled, at around 5.45pm on Wednesday evening , was heading for the Balearic Islands and due to land at 9pm, Manchester Evening News reports.
However, the plane turned over the English Channel and was forced to suddenly divert back to Manchester again. The flight path shows how the plane headed back north, towards Manchester, circling twice over the Peak District and then landing back at Manchester Airport. Reports online suggested the reason for the sudden diversion was due to 'technical' and 'communication issues' however in a public tweet, Jet2 said it was 'due to unforeseen operational reasons'.
Jet2 is yet to confirm the full details surrounding the incident and has been approached for comment.
