Due to high winds, the aircraft diverted to Birmingham Airport, arriving with fuel 35% below the recommended reserve limit. The pilot’s decision to load extra fuel before departure ensured a safe landing.

In another February incident, a TUI flight from Tunisia to Manchester diverted to Nice Côte d’Azur Airport due to a medical emergency.

The affected passenger was taken to the hospital by ambulance, and the flight continued its journey afterward.
