The British Airways (BA) flight from Heathrow to Aberdeen was delayed by more than two hours this morning after the plan was redirected mid-flight. The unscheduled landing in Manchester was designated as a priority rather than an emergency due to the onboard medical issue. Passengers were later flown to Aberdeen and are due to arrive by 2pm. A BA spokesman said: “The flight diverted to Manchester as a precaution due to an unwell cabin crew member on board. “The aircraft landed safely. We are sorry for the inconvenience to our customers.”
