Easyjet Tech Problem 14th Dec

Incident: Easyjet A319 near Asturias on Dec 14th 2011, technical problems

An Easyjet Airbus A319-100, registration G-EZIZ performing flight U2-3085 from London Stansted,EN (UK) to Asturias,SP (Spain), was on approach to Asturias Airport (runway length 7200 feet/2200 meters) about 50nm north of the aerodrome, when the crew aborted the approach at FL220 due to technical problems. The crew subsequently decided to divert to Madrid,SP (Spain), climbed back to FL300, requested emergency services on stand by in Madrid and landed safely on runway 18R (length 14,260 feet/4350 meters) of Madrid's Barajas Airport about 50 minutes after aborting the approach to Asturias.

The aircraft was able to complete the journey in the evening and reached Asturias with a total delay of 6 hours..



Any clue about the Technical Reason??
