A flight departing from the Midlands this morning was forced to make a U-turn and divert back to the UK.
The TUI flight departed Birmingham Airport at 9am for Dabolim Airport in Goa, India, but turned around high above the border of the Netherlands and Germany.
Returning to the UK, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner landed at London Gatwick Airport just before 11am.
It landed immediately at the airport, with Flightradar 24's playback showing that it did not have to hold before landing.
At this time, it is not clear why the flight was forced to divert.
The U-turn occurred around two hours into a flight which typically takes eight hours and 32 minutes.
The aircraft was at around 39,000 feet high at the time that it altered its course over the North Rhine-Westphalia region of Germany.
