Updated at 1.45pm with Ryanair statement
A Ryanair flight from Edinburgh to Malta was forced to divert to the Netherlands after a passenger fell ill during the flight.
The aircraft took off from Edinburgh at 7am on Tuesday and was due to land in Malta later this morning, but was diverted to Eindhoven after declaring a 'mid-air emergency'.
The passenger got off the plane and was treated by medics. The plane then re-departed for Malta.
A Ryanair spokesperson confirmed the incident.
"The crew called ahead to request medical assistance, the aircraft landed normally and the customer disembarked and was met by medics for further treatment," they said.
"The aircraft departed to Malta shortly after and Ryanair apologised to all customers for this short delay."
