Ryanair have since released the following statement:
“This flight from Budapest to Dublin (6 Mar) diverted to London Stansted after a customer became ill onboard. The aircraft landed normally and was met by paramedics on arrival, who provided medical assistance and the aircraft will depart to Dublin shortly. Ryanair apologised to affected customers for the short delay to their flight.”
UPDATE: The plane has successfully landed in Stansted with emergency crews surrounding it – no word as of yet as to what the emergency is but police and anti-terrorist response units are en route.
A Ryanair flight heading from Budapest to Dublin has sent a ping from the cockpit alerting that there is an emergency on board.
The alarm has been raised at 6:07pm with the flight still in the air rapidly descending towards Stansted Airport in Essex.
It is not yet known what the emergency is other than the airplane must land immediately.
The flight sent a 7700 signal to the control tower which indicated an emergency was declared by the captain.
