Engine out on Iceland Express charter aircraft, landing at Gatwick

Have you guys more info on this, the article in Icelandic media does not say
name of operator nor type of aircraft, just that it was a charter aircraft flying
from Alicante to Keflavik, Iceland, and had an engine shutdown or failure and
had to land at Gatwick. Newsclip does however say that it was not their aircraft,
as if they ever had one, and that the company would not do business with this
company again, lots of cudos from pax after IEX reception in KEF with vouchers for
free travel from iceland Express etc:

Vísir - Şurfti ağ lenda vegna bilunar í hreyfli

and

Vísir - Farşegi á Gatwick: Flugfreyjunum var brugğiğ

A delay of 4 hours until a new aircraft was available, probably from AEU
based at Gatwick.
