The decision for diversion and emergency landing was made after a passenger in his mid 50s suddenly fell sick midair, shortly after the flight TOM2621 took off from Alicante, Spain.

The paramedics were ready at the scene when the plane safely landed. The passenger was treated for about half an hour and the flight resumed after his condition stabilized.

The flight, which was due to land at Manchester Airport at 1:05 p.m. eventually landed at 3:30 p.m.
