Jet2 diversion
Associated Press:
Greek authorities say a British Jet2.com airliner carrying 217 passengers has safely conducted an emergency landing at the northeastern airport of Kavala.
The plane had been flying from Bradford airport in England to Larnaca in Cyprus.
Airport officials say the pilot requested the unscheduled landing on Wednesday after his instruments indicated a malfunction.
Experts were checking the aircraft, while a new plane was expected to pick up the passengers later in the day from Kavala, some 105 miles east of Thessaloniki.
