An EasyJet flight, designated U22253, declared an emergency shortly after departing from Manchester Airport for Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, on May 21. The Airbus A320neo, which can carry between 150 and 180 passengers, abandoned its ascent at 3,700 feet due to a medical incident onboard. The flight crew activated the Squawk 7700 signal, alerting nearby air traffic control to the emergency situation. Following standard emergency protocols, the pilots prepared the aircraft for a rapid return, landing safely back at Manchester Airport. Regional emergency teams and airport fire services were on standby to assist upon arrival. EasyJet confirmed that the diversion was necessitated by a medical emergency. This incident comes on the heels of another EasyJet flight that had to make an emergency landing in Rome due to a passenger's mobile phone charging on a power bank in their luggage. Passengers on that flight faced delays, with some needing to stay overnight in the terminal or being accommodated in hotels.
