- Jet2 flight strikes bird
- Diverts to Manchester safely
- Passengers moved to replacement
A Jet2 aircraft en route to Lanzarote was forced to land abruptly due to what appeared to be an avian strike.
This morning, flight LS217 departed Leeds Bradford Airport; however, shortly after that, it was rerouted to Manchester “as a precautionary measure.”

The airline verified that the aircraft “taxied to stand as usual” after a safe landing.
“Your path to wealth begins here – don’t wait, get your free Webull shares.”
Customers are being transferred to a replacement aircraft to resume their journey, according to a Jet2 spokesperson.
