Incidents of this kind are recurrent. On Friday, February 22, a plane operating an Easyjet Barcelona-Bristol flight had been forced to make an emergency landing in Mérignac. Reason given: a medical emergency. The previous week, it was the case of two flights operated by a Boeing 737 and an Airbus A220. The first aircraft had been diverted for a medical emergency, while the second had to land for a malfunction on the left engine.
