IOM to Gatwick Flight Declared Emergency

Tue, 23 Oct 2018


An Easyjet flight from the Isle of Man to Gatwick Airport were met by emergency services on touch down after an alert was issued.

Just after take-off from Ronaldsway on Sunday evening- two loud bangs were heard from one of the planes engines.

It was initially thought that a bird strike was responsible for the loud bang but the aircraft’s diagnostic system later identified a problem with a bleed valve in one of the engines.

The plane was met by fire crews on arrival where an inspection was carried out.

In a statement, Easyjet said: "At no point was the safety of the passengers and crew compromised. The aircraft taxied to stand and passengers disembarked normally."
