In Lester, it's March 12th, here's what is happening. An easy jet flight from Amsterdam to Edinburgh had to divert to Manchester this morning due to strong winds beyond the aircraft's limits. The Airbus A320, Flight EJU-7835, took off from Shippell shortly before 6.15am on March 12th and was set to land at, Edinburgh around 7.50am. The crew tried to land at Edinburgh, but had to do a go-around before heading south and declaring a mid-air emergency by squawking 770. Zero. They touched down safely at Manchester around 8.20am and it became the most tracked flight worldwide on flight radar 24. Passengers were looked after with coach transfers back to Edinburgh, arranged by EasyJet, who stressed safety as their top priority and apologized for. The weather-related hassle. No injuries were reported and the airline noted it was fully out of their control. The Met Office had a yellow warning out for gusts, up to 70 miles per hour across southern,

central, eastern, and northeast Scotland, with 50. To 55 mile per hour winds expected widely and higher in coastal spots. This kind of weather could cause delays in road, rail, ferry, and air travel, plus some brief power outages, but no other flights struggled to land at. Edinburgh that morning, squawking 7700 alerts controllers to handle any general emergency efficiently. D&N is sponsored by our partner. No need to switch positions.
