An Easyjet flight from Malta to Manchester had to be diverted to Malpensa airport in Milan when one of the pilots and a passenger fell ill yesterday afternoon.

A medical team met the plane on the runway and the sick people were taken away in an ambulance.

The plane was eventually flown to Manchester by a new crew, resulting in a two-hour delay.
