Jet2 flight from Samos to Manchester diverts to Split after emergency call
A Jet2 flight from Samos to Manchester diverted to Split, Croatia, on 30 October.
The aircraft was a Boeing 737-800, and one local outlet said it was carrying 165 passengers.
The crew transmitted emergency code 7700, which signals a general emergency but does not explain its cause.
One outlet described the problem as technical, but the emergency code itself does not confirm that.
The plane landed safely in Split less than two hours after taking off from Samos.
It then moved to the airport apron rather than remaining on the runway.
The available information does not say what caused the diversion or what happened next.
