An easyJet flight departing Glasgow declares an in-flight emergency and diverts to Liverpool Airport. Outlets report that the aircraft issues the emergency squawk code 7700, prompting air traffic services to treat the situation as an emergency.
Reports say the flight was originally scheduled to fly to Southampton after leaving Glasgow in the morning. One outlet notes the diversion occurs about 25 minutes after take-off, while another specifies a departure time of 8:09am and indicates the aircraft then reroutes to Liverpool. The accounts agree on the timing and that the emergency signal is the basis for the diversion. None of the sources provided details on the underlying cause of the emergency, the number of passengers or crew affected, or any subsequent outcome after landing.
Authorities do not appear in the provided summaries, and the coverage focuses on the emergency declaration and change of destination rather than explanations for the incident.
