Without further ado, let’s get into it…
Jet2 Flight LS930 – Reus to Manchester…
Jet2 flight LS930, which made an emergency landing, is a routine scheduled flight between Reus and Manchester Airport.
It is understood the aircraft involved in this incident was G-LSAN.
As per data from Planespotters.net, G-LSAN is a 30.2 year old Boeing 757-200 that started out life with Transavia in April 1994.
By November 2003, the aircraft was handed over to ATA Airlines and then to Axis Airways in April 2005.

During it’s approach into the UK airport, the crew notified ATC that they would need emergency services on arrival.
LS930 landed safely into Manchester Airport at 1422 local time.
Landing Gear Indicator Issue Was The Cause…
As per @FlightEmergency on X, it is understood Jet2 flight LS930 Reus-Manchester received a landing gear indicator issue.
This would suggest that the landing gear wasn’t down and locked, which required the emergency services.
