Glasgow Jet2 flight returns to airport after 'emergency'
The flight had been squawking 7700, a code used by pilots to indicate a general emergency to air traffic controllers. A Jet2 flight departing from Glasgow Airport was forced to return shortly after take-off. The brief journey, scheduled from Glasgow to Leeds, took off at 11.17am on Saturday (May 31). However, the flight soon began 'squawking' to signal an emergency, as reported by air traffic tracking service Flight Radar 24. The Boeing 737 aircraft initially headed towards Leeds over Kilwinning, but abruptly changed course over Dumfries and Galloway around 13 minutes into the flight. The plane then flew north, circling over Lanark, Larkhall and Wishaw for nearly ten minutes before heading north over Cumbernauld and turning back to land in Renfrew at Glasgow Airport at 11.59am. The flight never ascended beyond 9,000 feet. Typically, passenger flights cruise at altitudes exceeding 30,000 feet above sea level. Flight Radar confirmed that air traffic control recordings indicate no further safety concerns once the flight touched down at Glasgow Airport, reports Glasgow Live. The flight had been squawking 7700, a code used by pilots to signal a general emergency to air traffic controllers, according to Flight Radar.

Majorca From challenging climbs to speedy flats, Majorca is a cyclist's 'dream' destination. Saddle up on the Puerto Pollensa to Cap Formentor route where after a hilly start, the smooth road flattens out for "breathtaking" views of the sea and steep cliffs along the peninsula. After a rewarding day of pushing your limits in the saddle, take a well-earned rest with a sangria in hand and a "tantalising" tapas spread. What's the holiday?

Starting in Cavtat, the circular route heads away from the glimmering sea and gently climbs uphill towards Zvekovica, with lots of "brilliant" views to enjoy along the way. Once you have finally unclipped from your pedals, there are plenty of picturesque cobblestone old towns and areas of natural beauty to enjoy. What's the holiday?

Tenerife Traverse "impressive" volcanic peaks and sail along sun-baked flatlands in Tenerife – a destination of surprising contrasts.

Experience the highs of Mount Teide National Park before returning to the colourful shores of Puerto de la Cruz. What's the holiday? Jet2holidays - Canary Islands, Tenerife, 3-star Hovima Jardin Caleta Aparthotel, seven nights half-board departing from Leeds Bradford on June 24. Do I Need Travel Insurance? Price: £759 per person based on two adults sharing, includes a 22kg baggage allowance, bike carriage and return sports transfers. Gran Canaria If diverse scenery is at the top of your list, Gran Canaria is for you. Take your pick of flat coastal sand dunes, rich forests, verdant green valleys, and the gruelling gradients of Pico de Las Nieves. For a true challenge, take on the mammoth 190km route that traces the island's entire coastline. Gran Canaria is the ideal place to push your cycling limits and recover in the sunshine. What's the holiday? Jet2holidays - Canary Islands, Gran Canaria, 4-star Gloria Palace San Agustin Thalasso And Hotel, seven nights bed and breakfast departing from Liverpool John Lennon on June 26.
