A FLIGHT leaving from Scotland was forced to make an emergency landing amid the Easter weekend rush.
The EasyJet flight to Gran Canaria from Glasgow issued an apology to passengers after rerouting to London Gatwick due to "technical issues".
No injuries have currently been reported.
An EasyJet spokesperson said: “We can confirm that flight EZY3111 from Glasgow to Grand Canaria on 29 March diverted to Gatwick due to a technical issue.
“The aircraft landed safely in Gatwick and was met by emergency services as a routine and precautionary measure only.
“We did all possible to minimise the impact for our passengers and arranged for a replacement aircraft for them to continue their journey and they were provided with a complimentary service onboard.
“The safety of our customers and crew is easyJet’s highest priority and we would like to apologise to customers for the delay and inconvenience caused.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
