A Ryanair flight from Scotland was forced to divert to Manchester Airport after a passenger fell ill on board.
The flight - FR5663 EDI-AGP - departed Edinburgh for Malaga, Spain, on Tuesday evening, but made an emergency landing at Manchester Airport for medical reasons.
The flight left Edinburgh at around 5pm and was in the air for under an hour when staff were made to land so the passenger could receive medical attention.
