A Ryanair flight from Prestwick to Gran Canaria was forced to make an emergency landing in Dublin earlier.

The airline tell us it was due to a medical emergency onboard.

A spokesmen said: "This flight from Glasgow Prestwick to Gran Canaria (5 May) diverted to Dublin after a customer became ill on board."

"The crew called ahead to request medical assistance, the aircraft landed normally and the customer was met by medics. The aircraft continued onwards to Gran Canaria after a short delay and Ryanair apologises to affected customers."
