EasyJet flight from Glasgow to Malaga diverts to Shannon due to ill passenger

An EasyJet Airbus A320-200 operating EZY‑3103 from Glasgow to Malaga was forced to land at Shannon Airport after a passenger became ill over County Kilkenny. The aircraft landed safely around 07:45 GMT, the passenger was taken to hospital, and the flight resumed to Malaga after 09:10 GMT.

EasyJet flight EZY‑3103 from Glasgow to Malaga diverted to Shannon Airport after a passenger fell ill over County Kilkenny. The aircraft, an Airbus A320‑200, carried 188 passengers and crew and landed safely at about 07:45 am. Paramedics assessed the passenger at Shannon and transferred them to University Hospital Limerick for treatment. The flight departed Shannon and continued to Malaga shortly after 09:10 am. EasyJet announced it will not pass on higher fuel costs to passengers through ticket price increases. The diversion caused a schedule disruption and additional ground handling at Shannon, affecting operations control and airport resource allocation. EasyJet’s decision not to raise fares despite fuel price pressure may help preserve revenue management forecasts and keep price competitiveness.
