A Ryanair flight from Faro to Exeter was diverted to Birmingham after the crew reported a technical issue requiring a longer runway. The aircraft circled Exeter before heading to Birmingham, where emergency vehicles met the plane as a precaution. Passengers disembarked safely, and engineers inspected the aircraft, including its wing. Travellers were later transported to Exeter by coach, with Ryanair stating that customers were kept updated throughout the disruption.
