In the last few moments, a Ryanair flight between Barcelona and Edinburgh diverted to Manchester amid an emergency onboard.
The aircraft made a steep descent into the diversion airport of choice, with no indication into why as of yet.
Without further ado, let’s get into it…

Upon reaching the Nottingham area, the aircraft declared an emergency and proceeded to descend into Manchester.
Furthermore, Ryanair flight FR6267 landed without incident at around 13:25 UK time.
Medical-Related Incident…
@FlightEmergency on X mentioned that the reason for the emergency was medical-related.
At this stage, details surrounding the specifics are unclear, and typically are, unless something fatal has happened.
This means that Ryanair FR6267 from Barcelona will continue on to Edinburgh from Manchester in due course.
All eyes will be on when the aircraft departs. A safe landing into EDI is expected.
