Airplane en route to London from Canary Islands was redirected due to a medical issue.

During a flight from Gran Canaria to London, a passenger experienced a medical emergency that required immediate attention. As a result, the British Airways plane was diverted and made an unexpected landing at Brest Airport in France. The flight, which was supposed to depart at 6:43pm, had already been delayed for over an hour before finally taking off from the sunny destination.

According to data from FlightRadar24, the plane made a sharp turn over the Brittany peninsula in north-west France before heading towards Gatwick Airport. However, due to the passenger's condition, the decision was made to land at Brest Airport instead. The plane touched down at approximately 10:53pm, as reported by The Sun.

A spokesperson for British Airways stated that the diversion was necessary due to a customer requiring medical attention. They assured that the passenger was able to receive the necessary care upon landing and that the airline's team was working diligently to ensure that the rest of the passengers could continue their journey as soon as possible. The cause of the medical emergency is unknown at this time, but the safety and well-being of all passengers is always the top priority.
