An easyJet flight made an emergency landing at Manchester Airport on Sunday afternoon , less than an hour after initially taking off from the runway. The EZY1877, from Manchester to the Spanish city of Bilbao, took off shortly after 2.30pm, but was soon back at Manchester.
A replacement aircraft was arranged to continue the passenger's journey to Spain, which usually takes just less than two hours. A 'bird strike', the reason for the swift landing, is described as a collision between a bird and an aircraft.Looking at the flight map on service Flightradar, the plane flew over Macclesfield before circling over the Peak District and then travelling north over Glossop and then heading back to Manchester Airport.
