A Glasgow-bound Jet2 flight was forced to divert due to a mid-air emergency.
Jet2 says flight LS196 – which was heading to Glasgow Airport – diverted to Budapest Ferenc Liszt International Airport in Hungary due to a passenger requiring medical assistance.
The aircraft originally departed from Dalaman in Turkey on Tuesday, July 16, at around 10.45pm.
It was set to arrive in Glasgow shortly after 1am on Wednesday, July 17, however, it is not known when the flight arrived.
A spokesperson for Jet2.com said: “We can confirm that flight LS196 from Dalaman to Glasgow diverted to Budapest on Tuesday, July 16, due to a customer requiring medical assistance.”
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!
