LONDON-<\/strong> European low-cost and leisure airline easyJet UK (U2)<\/a> flight from London Gatwick (LGW)<\/a> to Dubrovnik (DBV) made an emergency landing at LGW due to issues with the aircraft’s hydraulic system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EasyJet Flight makes Emergency landing at Gatwick<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The flight tracking site Flight Radar 24 data suggests that the easyJet (U2) flight U26427<\/strong> took off from Gatwick Airport (LGW) with around 25 minutes delay at 8:12 AM local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shortly after takeoff, the flight started circling near the LGW. Subsequently, the easyJet flight crew squawked 7700 a few minutes later, meaning some emergency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After burning the extra fuel needed to reach Dubrovnik Airport (DBV), the flight started its approach towards LGW. The flight landed safely at 8:50 AM local time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The flight remained airborne for almost 40 minutes. The aircraft involved in the incident is an easyJet classic 8.1-year-old Airbus A320, registered as G-EJCV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
