Jet2 is reported to have taken an aircraft out of service after problems on two flights within the space of a week.
The aircraft had “a flap indication alert” on a flight that departed Larnaca late on Monday for Leeds Bradford airport. It landed safely on Tuesday morning.
The same aircraft, flying from Crete, was diverted to Manchester with the same problem last Thursday, the BBC reported.
Jet2’s engineering team is working with the manufacturer Boeing “to resolve this issue”, the company said.
The airline said: “The captain of Jet2.com flight LS466, received a flap indication alert from the aircraft’s monitoring system, as the crew prepared to land at Leeds Bradford airport.
“The aircraft went into a holding pattern for a few minutes, to allow the crew time to assess the situation and then landed safely, without incident.”
Jet2 said the withdrawn aircraft would not re-enter service until the issue was “understood, resolved and thoroughly tested”.
The aircraft was diverted to Manchester while flying from Heraklion in Crete last Thursday as a “precautionary matter” due to its longer runway, the firm previously said.
Flaps are used to extend the surface area of an aircraft’s wing during take-off and landing, to generate more lift at the slower speeds associated with those phases of the flight.
