Jet2 passengers diverted to Croatia and forced to wait for replacement plane
Passengers heading to Manchester were forced to make a major diversion, following an unknown incident in the skies
Jet2 passengers on flight LS1750 from Samos, Greece, were diverted to Split, Croatia, due to a reported technical issue with the aircraft. The plane landed safely in Split after departing Samos at 1.38pm local time and was originally scheduled to arrive in Manchester at 3.30pm UK time.
Jet2 stated that a replacement aircraft was arranged to fly customers from Split back to the UK. The airline emphasized that the health, safety and well-being of everyone onboard remains the top priority and apologized for the disruption.
The diversion occurred on Friday, October 30, while the aircraft was en route to Manchester. The specific cause given is a “technical issue,” with no further details provided in the material.
The report notes that the replacement aircraft is en route to Split to carry passengers home. No injuries, aircraft type details, or additional flight information beyond the diversion and replacement arrangement were provided in the source material.
The article references an earlier, unrelated incident involving an easyJet flight that diverted to Liverpool due to a bird strike, but this is not connected to the Jet2 event. No further outcomes or dates beyond what is stated are included.
