Fire crews were seen meeting a Jet2 flight after an emergency landing in Manchester on Sunday afternoon (January 5). It is understood the flight, to Fuerteventura from Newcastle, made the diversion due to a 'minor' technical issue on board the aircraft.

The flight, which had been due to land in the Canary Islands at 2.10pm, was delayed taking off. The international airport in Newcastle was among others across the UK, including in Manchester, which had been hit by delays due to heavy snow overnight.

The Jet2 flight eventually took off at around 12.42pm, according to the airline's website, before diverting and making the emergency landing shortly after 3pm.

In pictures taken from the runway, multiple airport fire engines and vehicles could be seen meeting the aircraft. It is understood this is common practise in landings of this nature.
